Introduction to the WebUtil Module

The WebUtil module provides code that support higher-level web server operations.

To use this module, use "%requires WebUtil" in your code.

All the public symbols in the module are defined in the WebUtil namespace

Classes:

• TextTemplateBase: the base class for all Program containers for template programs where text is rendered from templates made up of mixed Qore and text
• FileTemplate: models a single template based on a real file on the filesystem and provides compilation and rendering support for the template; supports recompiling on the fly if the file's modification time changes
• TemplateFileManager: manages templates based on real files on the filesystem, uses FileTemplate to store the templates and render output; uses efficient locking to safely handle multiple concurrent requests
• StaticTemplateManager: manages mixed Qore and text templates that are rendered to generate a final file; useful for HTML rendering for example
• FileHandler: a class for serving files from the file system anchored at a particular URL; also uses TemplateFileManager to automatically manage any template files found; supports automatic compilation of and rendering from template files
