HTTP Server

The AgileTrack server uses an embedded Jetty web server to handle HTTP requests for its XML-RPC and JSON-RPC services. Since Jetty is a J2EE web container, it can serve Java web applications.

The "Public HTML" is provided because it's available for free from Jetty. The option allows an application directory to be specified and have AgileTrack serve pages from that directory. It can serve static HTML, as well as JSPs, or other servlets as specified in the webapp's web.xml.

For example, agiletrack.net is actually an AgileTrack server serving a webapp using the "Public HTML". Plans are underway to develop a web interface to be distributed with the AgileTrack server. When released, it will be served as a webapp in the same fashion.

Right now we plan on only accessing AgileTrack from the intranet, so accessing the database directly is sufficient. However, if we ever want to give any of our customers access the server sounds pretty required.

I was really hoping that the beta web interface, in whatever state it is in, was included with the current version. That is a waaaaay cool feature. If you need anybody to beta test no matter how rough it is to set up please let me know. We are a java/mysql shop, and agiletrack seems like a very worthy project to donate some spare cycles to. From what I see at agiletrack.net I know my first request for the web interface is going to be to include the project name, and to be able to mark a project as web enabled or not.
