5.12 Serving Scheme Servlets

(require web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-servlets)

The web-server/dispatchers/dispatch-servlets module defines a dispatcher constructor that runs servlets written in Scheme.

(make   config:scripts       #:url->path url->path      [ #:make-servlet-namespace make-servlet-namespace       #:responders-servlet-loading responders-servlet-loading       #:responders-servlet responders-servlet       #:timeouts-default-servlet timeouts-default-servlet])

→   (-> void)   dispatcher?

config:scripts : (box/c cache-table?)

url->path : url->path?

make-servlet-namespace   :   make-servlet-namespace?       =   (make-make-servlet-namespace)

responders-servlet-loading   :   ((url url?) (exn any/c) . -> . response?)       =   servlet-loading-responder

responders-servlet   :   ((url url?) (exn any/c) . -> . response?)       =   (gen-servlet-responder "servlet-error.html")

timeouts-default-servlet : integer? = 30

The first returned value is a procedure that refreshes the servlet code cache.

The dispatcher does the following: If the request URL contains a continuation reference, then it is invoked with the request. Otherwise, url->path is used to resolve the URL to a path. The path is evaluated as a module, in a namespace constructed by make-servlet-namespace. If this fails then responders-servlet-loading is used to format a response with the exception. If it succeeds, then start export of the module is invoked. If there is an error when a servlet is invoked, then responders-servlet is used to format a response with the exception.

Servlets that do not specify timeouts are given timeouts according to timeouts-default-servlet.
