“Mod_Corba is a plug-in module for the Apache web server that
exposes the Apache “module” API via CORBA. With this, any object in
any language on any system can be used as a plugin module for an
Apache web server, without recompiling or restarting the server.
Since the entire internal operation of the Apache web server is
based on the module API, the possibilities are almost
limitless.
“Mod_Corba uses C language bindings of the fast, lightweight
ORBit ORB. This minimizes the overhead for using CORBA objects to
extend the Web server.
Supported features:
- Per-directory, per-URI, and per-server configuration
- Arbitrary number of handler objects
- Apache config files can set arbitrary environment variables for
each handler - Handler objects can process all 10 phases of Apache request
handling, including authentication, authorization, and
logging.
