@(require "web-server.ss")
@title[#:tag "servlet-env.ss"
#:style 'toc]{Simple Single Servlet Servers}
@(require (for-label web-server/servlet-env))
@defmodule[web-server/servlet-env]
The @web-server provides a way to quickly configure and start a server instance.
Here's a simple example:
@schememod[
scheme
(require web-server/servlet
web-server/servlet-env)
(define (my-app request)
`(html (head (title "Hello world!"))
(body (p "Hey out there!"))))
(serve/servlet my-app)
]
Suppose you'd like to change the port to something else, change the last line to:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:port 8080)
]
By default the URL for your servlet is @filepath{http://localhost:8000/servlets/standalone.ss},
suppose you wanted it to be @filepath{http://localhost:8000/hello.ss}:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:servlet-path "/hello.ss")
]
Suppose you wanted it to capture top-level requests:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:servlet-path "/")
]
Or, perhaps just some nice top-level name:
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:servlet-path "/main")
]
Suppose you wanted to use a style-sheet (@filepath{style.css}) found on your Desktop (@filepath{/Users/jay/Desktop/}):
@schemeblock[
(serve/servlet my-app
#:extra-files-paths
(list
(build-path "/Users/jay/Desktop")))
]
These files are served @emph{in addition} to those from the @scheme[#:server-root-path] @filepath{htdocs} directory.
Notice that you may pass any number of extra paths.
Suppose you would like to start a server for a stateless Web servlet @filepath{servlet.ss} that provides @schemeid[start]:
@schememod[
scheme
(require "servlet.ss"
web-server/servlet-env)
(serve/servlet start #:stateless? #t)
]
Note: If you put the call to @scheme[serve/servlet] in the module like normal, strange things will happen because of the way
the top-level interacts with continuations. (Read: Don't do it.)
@defproc[(serve/servlet [start (request? . -> . response?)]
[#:launch-browser? launch-browser? boolean? #t]
[#:quit? quit? boolean? #t]
[#:listen-ip listen-ip string? "127.0.0.1"]
[#:port port number? 8000]
[#:servlet-path servlet-path string?
"/servlets/standalone.ss"]
[#:servlet-regexp servlet-regexp regexp?
(regexp (format "^~a$" (regexp-quote servlet-path)))]
[#:stateless? stateless? boolean? #f]
[#:manager manager manager? default-threshold-LRU-manager]
[#:servlet-namespace servlet-namespace (listof module-path?) empty]
[#:server-root-path server-root-path path? default-server-root-path]
[#:extra-files-paths extra-files-paths (listof path?) (list (build-path server-root-path "htdocs"))]
[#:servlets-root servlets-root path? (build-path server-root-path "htdocs")]
[#:servlet-current-directory servlet-current-directory path? servlets-root]
[#:file-not-found-path file-not-found-path path?
(build-path server-root-path "conf" "not-found.html")]
[#:mime-types-path mime-types-path path?
(build-path server-root-path "mime.types")])
void]{
This sets up and starts a fairly default server instance.
@scheme[start] is loaded as a servlet and responds to requests that match @scheme[servlet-regexp]. The current directory
of servlet execution is @scheme[servlet-current-directory].
If @scheme[launch-browser?] is true, then a web browser is opened to @filepath{http://localhost:<port><servlet-path>}.
If @scheme[quit?] is true, then the URL @filepath["/quit"] ends the server.
If @scheme[stateless?] is true, then the servlet is run as a stateless @schememodname[web-server] module.
Advanced users may need the following options:
The server listens on @scheme[listen-ip] and port @scheme[port].
The servlet is loaded with @scheme[manager]
as its continuation manager. (The default manager limits the amount of memory to 64 MB and
deals with memory pressure as discussed in the @scheme[make-threshold-LRU-manager] documentation.)
The modules specified by @scheme[servlet-namespace] are shared with other servlets.
The server files are rooted at @scheme[server-root-path] (which is defaultly the distribution root.)
File paths, in addition to the @filepath["htdocs"] directory under @scheme[server-root-path] may be
provided with @scheme[extra-files-paths]. These paths are checked first, in the order they appear in the list.
Other servlets are served from @scheme[servlets-root].
If a file cannot be found, @scheme[file-not-found-path] is used as an error response.
MIME types are looked up at @scheme[mime-types-path].
