Multiserver

Back to FAQ Index


What is the Enhydra Multiserver?
It is a servlet runner that has been enhanced to support real-time monitoring, management and debugging. It is capable of accepting HTTP requests directly from browser clients when a Web server is not required.

Isn't it the same thing, for instance, as Jserv from Apache?
The Multiserver and Jserv are both servlet runners. The Multiserver actually uses Tomcat from the Apache Jakarta project. The Tomcat project eclipsed the Jserv project. The Multiserver has additional features, so it gives you the best of Apache and Enhydra.
