Hi everyone,

I have a question about hosting Fantom web apps, does it have to be a VPS or the like? Can I use jarDist to somehow host it as a an ordinary java site on some shared hosting?

Thank you.

This site it run by Wisp, fronted with nginx.

I believe there are some implementations floating around to run inside a normal Java servlet/J2EE environment too.

I started the tradewinds project a while back to address that http://kenai.com/projects/tradewinds. I got sidetracked with my day job (back when the language was still called fan as tradewinds as a pun made sense). I've been meaning to come back to it and finish it. I'm hoping to do so soon. Help is, of course, much appreciated.

I also put together a simple library for running fantom in a servlet container: https://bitbucket.org/liamstask/fanlet. I actually remember looking at tradewinds (thanks cheeser!), but went with an approach that still allows you to write your app to the WebRes/WebReq APIs...as I recall that wasn't how tradewinds went about it, but I could be wrong.

That's right. I was kinda aiming, at least initially, at servlet oriented applications. But, generally speaking, I'm hoping to provide a wide range integration points. I'm just lacking the time really.

Thanks a lot guys, I will review these stuff and get back to you if I get stuck...

Thanks again.
