vqServer API Introduction


The vqServer developers' toolkit and application programmers' interface is aimed at servlet authors and application programmers. It provides servlets and application programmes with access to and control of vqServer's configuration and operation. Potential applications of the developers' toolkit include:

  • Servlets which interact with vqServer more closely than Sun's servlet API allows. A sample servlet provided with the toolkit, GuestReg, implements a guest book using the vqServer user database to record guest book data.
  • Applications which build a vqServer installation or a partial vqServer installation programmatically for a special purpose, without using vqServer's configuration file. A sample application (actually a hybrid servlet/application) provided with the toolkit, HelloServer, creates an HTTP server which responds to requests on TCP/IP port 81 by sending a simple welcome page.
  • Applications which include vqServer's standard functionality as a subset of their features. A sample application provided with the toolkit, SampleApp, starts vqServer and then shuts down vqServer after a specified interval.

The vqServer developers' toolkit cannot currently be used to subclass the vq.server.Server class or the standard vqServer HTTP server.
