Web Application Server Architecture With Embedded Scripting Language And Shell Services

摘要

A web application server architecture has an interactive scripting language, development environment and operating-system-like services embedded. The architecture includes a server engine installed in an operating system of a computing device, and a server shell installed in the server engine. The server shell includes a resource management layer for configuring and naming resources and providing an interface to the resources; a shell services layer for providing application script development tools, a scripting language layer providing a programming language for creating web applications and for accessing external data, and a components layer for providing predefined functionality. The architecture also includes a user interface for developing and controlling an application, including a command prompt section for receiving a command entered by a user; a resource explorer section for facilitating viewing, searching, and operating on the resources; and an editing section for facilitating editing of data.
