I would venture to suggest that TT doesn't really fit into this
category. While it's cool and powerful, it requires more infrastructure
to get a website up than Pagekit and AxKit. I believe Andy has written
some sort of app server using TT though, so perhaps look into that.

Oh, and the section should be called "Application Servers", IMO.

I think it fits into that category if you append something like:

  The Apache::Template module provides an Apache/mod_perl
  interface to the Template Toolkit, providing a quick and
  simple way to integrate its processing power into your
  web site.

I agree with what Matt is saying in principle in that the 
Template Toolkit by itself is really just a tool, not a 
complete framework.  But once you add Apache::Template it
becomes possible to build a powerful page delivery framework 
right out of the box.

But hey, I'm biased :-)

Embperl has become much more then embedding Perl into HTML over the last

Well you could add *lots* of modules in there, e.g. RAO, Apache-Template,
Apache-OAS, Apache-iNcom, Zobel... You could/should probably add in Mason
and EmbPerl there.

But I think for that page you should just stick to modules that are
actively under development, have an active community, and have a decent
web page of their own to point to. I think that minimises it down to:

EmbPerl
Mason
AxKit
PageKit
OpenInteract

and I guess ADT if it has a page and is well documented.

right,

Do you suggest a new section or to rename the one I've created?

How about http://www.openinteract.org/ which is heavily based on TT.

extropia.com will deliver their (our :) ADT with TT somewhere in June,
I'm rewritting it at this very moment.

Basically we should start listing all the serious application servers and
toolkits on mod_perl site, to point people to the available things, rather
than hint to develop their own from scratch.

So what I suggest is that you guys throw in a few more items and then we
will see how to categorize them. What do you think?

in all the time i've been working with servlet engines and
applications, i've never once seen this definition. i'm not
saying you're lying, but i think maybe they got overeager in
crafting a message that would be appealing to you.

it's mis-marketing. since i'm actually creating a perl
version of the servlet api, i respectfully ask you to
consider the appropriateness of the term before using it.

Nope, the opposite. A year or two ago I was at the perl conference
and noticed sun passing out a marketing flier as to why you
should write web apps in Java. They specifically defined servlet
as a persistent component that could have a persistent connection
to a database. They listed perl in the CGI category (which
tagged it with all of the downfalls of a CGI).

Might as well use the definition where it is to your advantage.

"servlet" is a specific term coined by sun referring to a a
specific component in the servlet api. you're just being
uncreative and confusing.

Its interesting to read this since I have always considered "Application
Server" to be a marketing term. I normally refer to slash (aka the
system
we use for slashdot and a few other hundred web sites) as an application
server.

FWIW I refer to any perl code that is persistent and is making use
of mod_perl as a servlet.

I agree to you with this goal (and that's what I done partly, for database
and sessions, in Embperl, what doesn't mean integration couldn't be
better...) also I don't believe we will see it soon. I don't like to decide
if Embperl (and the other modules) are Applikation Servers or not. That
depends on how you define the term. You define it in another way then Matt
does. That's why I suggest to call it "Applikaton Servers/Toolkits", because
it's more a toolkit to build an Application Server of the way you define it,
then a ready to run product.

you're both missing my point. sure there are lots of
components on cpan. but most of them have apis that look
different, are documented in different ways, and are
configured in different ways. you have to install each one
and figure out each configuration syntax (some use named
parameters to object constructors, some use globals, some
depend on specific tools). many of these tools are dependent
on an apache environment.

here's an example. let's say i want to make an application
using mason for presentation and dbi to access a database.
somehow i have to construct and configure the mason parser
and interpreter.  normally this is done either in a startup
script executed via PerlRequire or via mason-specific config
directives.  also somehow i have to specify database info so
i can make a connection to the db server. there are a
billion different ways i could do this.

a true application server would provide an environment with
a single consistent configuration mechanism. application
deployers have one place to specify both mason and database
parameters using the same naming conventions, value types,
etc. application developers can use the exact same facility
for application-specific configuration, and they have a
single naming interface for accessing config data. the
specifics of configuring mason and dbi are handled by the
application server's glue. that's how the application server
claims to integrate configuration, presentation and database
access.  furthermore, the configuration system isn't tied to
a particular deployment environment. it doesn't matter to
the application developer or deployer whether the
application is being run under mod_perl, speedycgi, or in
some other engine.

then add apis for logging and for managing sessions, apis
that are accessible to developers writing web applications.
make it so the deployer can simply twiddle a config value
and data goes to syslog instead of a file. again, not using
the apache mechanism, but an abstracted layer. notice that
the application deployer doesn't have to go get
Apache::Session from cpan and install it. the application
developer doesn't have to construct a
Apache::Session::Oracle with oracle or dbi specific
parameters, he just has to construct a
TheApplicationServer::Session, which uses that config api i
talked about earlier to figure out how to deal with
persistence.

then add an api for reporting data to a management system,
perhaps snmp, perhaps something else. again, deployers turn
a knob to figure that out. developers just use the api to
make data available. nothing specific to any particular
component. no building mod_snmp, reading its documentation,
or figuring out its configuration system.

the end goal of a application server is to simplify the
entire process of developing and deploying a complete
application, not just one part of it. we're really talking
about a whole different order of magnitude.

there's a whole huge class of people that don't want to
spend their time figuring out cpan and deciphering various
module author's foibles. they want to write code that adds
value to their business. they want infrastructure tools that
are as consistent, orderly and simple as possible. turnkey
solutions. plug and play, if you will. this is what the
application server is. "download a bunch of stuff from cpan"
is not an application server.

I agree to Matt, there is nothing missing for an application server, it's
mainly a matter of installation and documentation, so for people not familar
with CPAN it's maybe hard to find.

I think "Application Server" is not a well defined term, so we may not get
consensus here what it is. What's about calling the section "Application
Servers/Toolkits running under mod_perl". Then it's up to the reader how
he/she like to see it.

The reason you need that though is Java *has* no CPAN. Want distributed
objects, install CORBA::ORBit. Want database access, install DBI. Want
auth*, go to Apache directory on CPAN and make your choice.

IMHO, Apache *is* the unifying API for all of these things. And
so I think we're fully justified in calling these things application
servers.

er, that's not to diss anybody's software. everything on

management, authentication, authorization. all of these apis
are immediately available to application developers and
deployers in a consistent integrated fashion. this is not
"download 18 different components from cpan and mash them
all together" kind of setup. you can unjar the damn thing,
run a config script, and it's ready to run apps. there are
unified documentation and extensive sample applications.

the problem i'm interested in solving is how to provide
integrated components and consistent apis with this quantity
of functionality and level of sophistication in a perl
application server. i think it's still a long way away, but
it would be cool if i was proven wrong.

i think "application server" describes a system that does
more than implementing a templating language.

Andy? what should we link to instead?
