Hi Kyancy,

yes NetKernel will run fine on a Servlet 2.4 compatible engine, maybe others. Here is the documentation from the distribution:

http://docs.1060.org/docs/3.3.0/book/administratorguide/doc_guide_servlet.html

We have number of folks using it this way but we generally recommend against it if you have a choice as it adds extra complexity to deployment. The inbuilt Jetty HTTP server is very solid.

Cheers,

Welcome to the NetKernel forum!

Yes, NetKernel can be deployed as a servlet in a container. There is a case study looking at a system that used this approach:

I''m not sure about the specific limitations of using this approach. I''ll get those specifics and post them here later.

Hello,

Is it possible to deploy NetKernel to an existing app server? It''s likely that some of our existing web applications could benefit from leveraging NetKernel. I seem to recall from an earlier visit to the forums that some people were deploying NetKernel as a servlet in their app server environments (GlassFish, WebSphere, etc.) to leverage NetKernel while maintaining their existing app server environment. Is this indeed possible and what are the pros/cons of deploying NetKernel in this manner?

thx in advance
