h1. A WSGI server for jython 

 h2(#intro). Introduction to modjy 


 Python *Web Server Gateway Interface*, as specified in "PEP-333":http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/, is a ??simple and universal interface between web servers and [python] web applications or frameworks??.  

 Modjy is an implementation of a WSGI compliant gateway/server for jython, built on "Java/J2EE servlets":http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/. Which means that 


  # Jython WSGI applications run inside a Java/J2EE servlet container, e.g. "Apache Tomcat":http://tomcat.apache.org/ 
  # Incoming requests are handled by the servlet container 
  # The container is configured to route requests to the modjy servlet 
  # The modjy servlet creates an embedded jython interpreter inside the servlet container, and loads a configured jython web application, e.g. "Django":http://www.djangoproject.com/, ??the web framework for perfectionists with deadlines??. 
  # The modjy servlet delegates the requests to the configured WSGI application or framework. 
  # The WSGI response is routed back to the client through the servlet container. 


 For further information about WSGI, see "wsgi.org":http://wsgi.org. For a detailed specification of WSGI see "PEP-333: Python Web Server Gateway Interface, version 1.0":http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/.
