The Java Servlet interface between the Web server and FCService provides important benefits for FlashConnect users:
Servlets increase the speed of the data transfer between the Web browser and D3 because the servlet is loaded only one time by the Web server and is shared among users.
Servlets are platform independent and easy to use.
The FCServlet interface supplements the existing FCcgi and FCisapi conduits by combining the strengths of CGI's cross-platform support and ISAPI's speed. When invoked by the Web server, FCServlet transfers data from the Web server to FCService. It also receives data from FCService and translates the reply back to the Web server.
FCServlet cannot be used without a third-party Java Servlet engine. The Java Servlet engine is not provided on the FlashConnect CD-ROM but is available at no cost from the following URL:
For more information on configuring and using the FCServlet, see Testing FCServlet.
