News: Jaminid 0.99 was released on April 21st 2006. This includes the bugfixes and improvements otherwise only available through SVN/CVS as well as an Ajaxy example. Jaminid Demo Server (usually up)jaminid is a very small (and fast) daemon meant to embed in Java applications as an add-on HTTP interface. It is not a traditional web-server; but a web-server can be built on a jaminid daemon. SimpleServer in the examples package is one such web-server, that by default shows you this document. There are many advantages to using jaminid in your programs:
The lack of support for any scripting protocols (PHP, ASP, JSP, Perl) might make this more difficult to use for a web programmer, but the interface is extremely simple, and the core functions can be implemented inside the content producers of the application. This is done through a very simple interface called a ContentOracle. A ContentOracle works in a way very similar to a standard Java Servlet, and infact, you could write a ContentOracle that delegates the work to Servlets, if you already have pre-existing servlets. This is extremely easy, and might be developed as an add-on in the near future. ContentOracles are even more lightweight than Servlets however; the interface is very simple, and the class you extend contains core functions that already work well. The server is also extremely lightweiht; a working jar can be as small as 36K. Ports of Servlets, PHP and JSP may enable support of these scripts in the future, however that is not the main concern of this project, that was rather built to enable very quick web-interface implementation - indeed no scripting at all.
