WEB-grensesnitt til applikasjoner

Med SWILL kan man /strong>lett lage et web-grensesnitt til applikasjoner. Forfatteren skriver

The problem with most web servers is that their whole execution environment is mismatched to the problem of remote application access. This is because the server ends up being the primary focus of everything. As a result, applications end up being second-class citizens to be controlled using CGI scripts, server plugins, or some other kind of extension mechanism. Unfortunately, this doesn't work very well in a lot programs. For example, I don't have the slightest idea how I would make a big simulation code run as a CGI script or a server plugin. Nor am I inclined to spend a lot of time trying to find out.
