[Webware-discuss] Re: recipe.WebKit.multiple app servers on same box

[Irene B. <ib...@as...>]

Chuck,

Because you had mentioned having "multiple Webwares" installed
in your response to Tom Schwaller's post "problem with assertion".  I
didn't mean to confuse.  But, back to "multiple Webwares".  Since the
AsyncThreadedAppServer by default starts up 10 threads, the solution
below seems a bit excessive.  Maybe
I'm confused about the purpose of 'Contexts'.  Does 'Contexts'
just tell the AppServer where servlets can be found?

Let me play with Webware a bit more, maybe I'll find my own
solution.  BTW, I caught your talk at Python9 and it inspired
me to look at Webware as a simpler alternative to Zope:-)

Cheers,
--irene
