h2. Technology Overview {anchor:c1}

This chapter summarizes the various APIs and programming technologies supported by Web Server.

The following topics are discussed:

* h6. [Sun Java System Web Server Architecture]
* h6. [Server Configuration Files]
* h6. [Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 APIs]
* h6. [API Summary]
* h6. [Changes From Previous Versions]

h2. Server-Parsed HTML Tags {anchor:c2}

HTML files can contain tags that are executed on the server. In addition to supporting the standard server-side tags, Web Server allows you to embed servlets and define your own server-side tags.

This chapter has the following sections:

* h6. [Enabling Server-Side HTML]
* h6. [Using Server-Side HTML Commands]
* h6. [Environment Variables in Server-side HTML Commands]
* h6. [Embedding Servlets]
* h6. [Defining Custom Server-Parsed HTML Tags]
* h6. [Time Formats]

h2. Using Common Gateway Interface {anchor:c3}

Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs run on the server and generate a response to return to the requesting client. CGI programs can be written in the C, C++, Java, and Perl languages, and as shell scripts. CGI programs are executed through URL invocation. For information about writing CGI programs, see [http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/overview.html].

Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 complies with the CGI specification version 1.1.

This chapter has the following sections:

* h6. [Configuring CGI Settings]
* h6. [Creating Custom Execution Environments for CGI Programs]
* h6. [Adding CGI Programs to the Server]
* h6. [Setting the Priority of a CGI Program]
* h6. [CGI Programs]
* h6. [Global CGI Settings]
* h6. [CGI Variables]
* h6. [FastCGI]
