GNU-SocketServer API

Overview

The GNU-SocketServer API is a Java API for building TCP based network servers. It provides a multi-threaded Server object which can be instantiated in a particular HostContext and distribute TCP connections to ConnectionHandler objects running in their own thread.

Threads within the system are pooled and re-used to make the system as efficient as possible.

The API is used as the foundation for the GNU-Paperclips Servlet Engine.

It is also the foundation for a developmental mail server.
