Abstract
The need for user interactivity has led to the creation of many technologies for Web applications. These Web applications are usually installed on and accessed through a Web application server. Security is however a problem in such environments and most of the servers and Web applications are thus run as the restricted user ‘nobody’. Performance also is an issue due to process re-initialisation. Many technologies resolve some security and performance shortcomings in limited contexts. This paper presents the X-Switch system: a secure language independent Web application server that is a generalisation of existing technologies. Experimental results show that the X-Switch system can perform comparably to other Web application servers and that a general solution is possible.
