8 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | 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 |

11 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # Jython WSGI applications run inside a Java/J2EE servlet container, e.g. "Apache Tomcat":http://tomcat.apache.org/ |
12 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # Incoming requests are handled by the servlet container |
13 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # The container is configured to route requests to the modjy servlet |
14 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # 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??. |
15 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # The modjy servlet delegates the requests to the configured WSGI application or framework. |
16 | 1 | Alan Kennedy | # The WSGI response is routed back to the client through the servlet container. |
