Re: [EsiGate-users] correct installation

[Francois-Xavier B. <fra...@ce...>]

Hi Volker,

Sorry for the mails in French on the mailing list.

We are talking about 3 different things here:

1) esigate-servlet is the artifact that contains the main EsiGate filter
that you deploy in a web application. Then you deploy the web application
on any servlet container like Tomcat, Websphere, Weblogic, Jetty...
This is the recommended and most common way to run EsiGate in production.

2) esigate-server is a pre-packaged version of the EsiGate filter deployed
inside a Jetty server. It is easy to run and you have nothing to install,
that is why it is often used in development. I think you could safely use
it in production but it still lacks some features like init scripts (but
this is currently in progress <https://github.com/esigate/esigate/issues/61>)
so you would have a little work to setup everything

3) ServletExtension is a new feature of version 5 (that is also included in
esigate-servlet artifact by the way) that replaces the http requests by
local includes
<https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html#include(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,
javax.servlet.ServletResponse)>.
So you can use this extension when you want to include some contents from
inside the application where EsiGate runs or from a webapp that is deployed
on the same servlet container instance. In this particular case skipping
the network calls may make your architecture simpler and improve the
performance.
Of course if the applications you aggregate with EsiGate are deployed on
another machine or are php on .net application, you cannot use this
extension.

I hope my explanation is clear.
