How is a servlet processed?
A client browser sends a request to a web server (Apache at HostSRV.com). The web server, by looking at what follows the “.com”, recognizes it as a servlet. (It recognizes it because the particular directory was mapped to the Java server in the web server’s configuration file (httpd.conf for Apache. See below for more information on this mapping.). The Java server (Tomcat at HostSRV.com) finds the servlet in the application’s directory tree and sends it to the Java Runtime Engine (JRE) to process as a java program. When complete, the Tomcat server returns the data (which could be html text or some other mime type) to the web server. The web server returns the data to the client browser. MSP is a servlet and is run by the Tomcat server when MSP is requested by a client browser. MSP connects to a Mathematica® kernel via JLink. The Mathematica® kernel executes the instructions from the MSP servlet script. These instructions take the form of MSP tags within a servlet script file (Integrato
