The beauty

The beauty
In my quest for a web and application server which is suitable and
scalable from personal use to mid-sized businesses, I have researched
and evaluated many products, some of which are open-sourced, such as
tomcat, jetty, easerver, apache, jboss, websphere, and oracle 9ias.
All of them are technically good and appropriate for those who are
willing to spend an enormous amount of time, money, and man-power to
understand and maintain them. At the same time, all of them are too
big, too complex, too hard to use and maintain, and too out-of-focus
for what we are looking for.

Thus, we decided to build sockSvr, taking advantages of the most
advanced techniques and technologies, and avoiding the pitfalls of
other products. The result is the sockSvr that is powerful, elegant,
compact, and easy to use. To give you ideas of what sockSvr involves,
we would like to present a snap shot of our (many) web-sites'
directory trees.

Before we show you our directory tree, we want you to keep in mind
that our sockSvr is hosting many applications (each subdirectory under
public contains one or more applications), and some applications are
open (i.e., they do not require usernames and passwords) such as
http://vmdd.tech.mylinuxisp.com/catalog/, and many are closed (i.e.,
they are for internal use or registered members only) such as
http://vmdd.tech.mylinuxisp.com/work/issuemgr.html.

The file passwd.txt contains usernames and passwords. The file
openapp.txt defines which apps are open.

Now, here is our web-site directory:

After looking at the above, what do you observe? I see that while
sockSvr is compact, it can host as many applications as your disk
allows. I also see that to configure sockSvr, I need to modify only
two files: passwd.txt and openapp.txt. Then, I can add as many
applications and many subdirectories as I can under the public
directory. And, all of sudden, all of these applications are available
world-wide.
Before we conclude, we want you to know that we are very flexible
about prices. Give us a proposal, and then we can favorably consider
it. We price to sell. When you buy from us, you will get money-back
guarantee and free upgrade for a year.
