public class WebServer extends AbstractInitializableAttribute
HttpService. The server is set up during
initialize() and taken down during
wrapup(). The resourceLocation
parameter gives a directory or URL relative to which this
web server should look for resources (like image files and
the like).
You can add additional resource bases by adding additional
parameters of type ptolemy.data.expr.FileParameter to
this WebServer (select Configure in the context menu).

preferredPort 8078
of localhost, the model will handle all requests that begin with
http://localhost:8078/If multiple applications are running on the same server, it's typical to assign a unique application prefix for each. For example, two applications with application paths of "/calendar" and "/music" would receive requests directed to
http://localhost:8078/calendar http://localhost:8078/musicrespectively. Applications may contain multiple servlets (provided by e.g.
HttpActors).
Each servlet typically defines a servlet path which is appended to
the application path for request routing. For example, two servlets
with servlet paths "/play" and "/upload" in the music application
would receive requests directed to:
http://localhost:8078/music/play http://localhost:8078/music/uploadrespectively.
public Parameter deployedPort
public Parameter preferredPort
public StringParameter resourcePath
preferredPort 8078 of localhost, the client can request file "image.png"
using:
http://localhost:8078/image.pngThe resourcePath is added as a prefix before the file's name in the URL. For example, given the resourcePath "/files", the client can request file "image.png" using:
http://localhost:8078/files/image.pngRelative URLs are permissible for files requested by pages served by this WebServer (common for e.g. custom Javascript libraries). For example, given the resourcePath "/files", a file named "custom.js" may be retrieved at the relative URL:
/files/custom.jsNote that the name of the directory containing resources does NOT have to match the URL used to access these resources. See
resourceLocation regarding the resource directory.
Subdirectory search is supported (here, for subdirectories to the
directory specified by resourceLocation). Add the subdirectory
path to the URL. For example, given the resourcePath "/files",
a file in subdirectory /user/photos named "selfie.png" may be
retrieved at URL:
http://localhost:8078/files/user/photos/selfie.png
public FileParameter resourceLocation
resourcePath regarding the URL.public FileParameter temporaryFileLocation
resourceLocation, but the
directory specified here may be used by components implementing
HttpService as a place to write temporary files
that will be found by the web server.
This defaults to "$TMPDIR", a built-in variable
that specifies a temporary file location.

In the current implementation, servlets must be registered before the Jetty server starts. Servlets are not allowed to be added to a running ContextHandler. Currently, the Jetty server is started once and runs until the model finishes executing. It would also be possible to pause the server, add a servlet, and restart the server, which would allow a model to dynamically add servlets. This might cause strange behavior to an outside observer, however, since some HttpRequests could fail if a servlet has not been loaded yet. References:
