I am a newbie with the apache web server. Learning very slowly too. Just have an idea of building an http web server application, something in the likes of php, or asp.net.
Say I have a dll which is intended to serve a request. This dll is a managed process. I know apache treats each request as a thread. All the necessary request related data structures are available for use in the thread. I need to call this dll from the thread. I am not clear how to do so?
Since the dll is a managed one, I know I have to invoke the CLR, create the appdomain, load the assembly, etc, etc. Invoking the clr from an unmanaged process involves talking with specific COM interfaces. Hence loading the CLR itself is an expensive operation.
Does apache modules have an infrastructure/setup by means of which we can load this dll once...? And if this dll is loaded, how do I get the multiple request threads to utilize the dll methods/functionality? |
