Release of Simple 4.0 – the Java HTTP Engine
Release of Simple 4.0 – the Java HTTP Engine (18 Aug 2008)
The new Version 4.0 of the Simple HTTP framework of Java has been released recently. It is intended to provide faster XML configuration and serialization. The Simple Version 4.0 is asynchronous and has the ability to take large amount of loads comprising of only a limited servicing threads. The NIO (New Input Output) framework of Java is implemented at the transport layer thus by ensuring itself to be responsive and resource efficient. Simple 4.0 also provides an API more suitable to the needs of the deveopers as compared to a Java Servlet API.
The basic salient features of this release includes-
· High Performance HTTP Kernel: Simple has already outshadowed theperformances of other HTTP servers. As compared to the latest versions of AsyncWeb and Jetty, it has higher throughput and performs much better in attaining the desired goals.
· Asynchronous Processing Throughput: Simple is well developed asynchronous HTTP engine. Its service model implements a transparent internal monitoring system which drives the request completion process. This implementation has triggered the performance of Simple to be better than other servlet engines which are basically rely on servicing threads to monitor the request completion. Simple is especially better in regard of response time featuring transactions based on distributed services.
· Embeddable Framework: Simple can be embedded into any already existed application comprising several lines of code. It incorporates with any form of environments which supports Spring framework.
· Small Footprint: Though Simple has highly proficient in attaining its objectives under increasing load, it deals with only a small amount of memory. A latest study has showed that its memory footprint is half the size of other NIO based technologies like AsyncWeb and Jetty.
· Self Contained: It is not dependent on other technology specifications except the Java 5 SDK . This feature of Simple has retains the memory size to be small and so there no compatitibility problem arises regarding its integration with other existing application.
· Open Source Development: Simple has been released under LGPL (Lesser General Public License) which makes it adaptable for the commercial and open source projects development.
