HTTP 1.1 support
EAServer 4.0 offers support for HTTP/1.1. EAServer 4.0 supports features
listed as must and required for origin server and client in the W3C spec for
HTTP/1.1. For more information about HTTP/1.1, see
the HTTP/1.1
specification at http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html
.
Enhanced C++ component support
Beginning in EAServer 4.0, you can run C++ components in a separate process
from the host server. This allows you to run legacy C and C++ code as a Jaguar
component, while eliminating the risk incurred by running C++ code in the
same process as the host server. EAServer 4.0 also introduces support for C++
components in mixed-platform clusters. For more information, see Chapter 14,
“Creating CORBA C++ Components,” in the EAServer Programmer’s Guide.
Java deployment enhancements
EAServer 4.0 provides greater control over application class loading and some
Java-to-IDL and IDL-to-Java code generation optimizations.
New custom class loaders
EAServer 4.0 extends the custom class loader model with package, application,
and server class loaders. This enhancement allows components and Web
applications to share instances of common classes, while still supporting hot
refresh of application classes. For more information, see Chapter 30,
“Configuring Custom Java Class Lists,” in the EAServer Programmer’s
Guide.
