1.Introduction

spserver is a TCP server framework library written in C++ based on libevent.

spserver implements the Half-Sync/Half-Async and the Leader/Follower patterns.

More detail about the Half-Sync/Half-Async and Leader/Follower patterns:

Code description:

  SP_Server class implements the Half-Sync/Half-Async pattern.

    SP_Server, SP_EventCallback, SP_Session, SP_Request(SP_MsgDecoder), SP_Response(SP_Message)
      The asynchronous layer, which receives the asynchronous requests

    SP_EventArg::mInputResultQueue, SP_EventArg::mOutputResultQueue
      The queueing layer, which buffers the requests

    SP_Executor, SP_ThreadPool, SP_Handler
      The synchronous layer, which contains several threads of control blocked
      on the queueing layer

  SP_LFServer class implements the Leader/Follower pattern.

The spserver code was developed under Linux, but has also been tested under Solaris.

You can get the code from the spserver home page:

	http://code.google.com/p/spserver/

2.Building

Before building spserver, libevent must been installed. Test with libevent 1.1 and 1.2.

You can donwload libevent from its home page:

	http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

Edit spserver/Makefile to specify the path of libevent:

	LIBEVENT_INCL = -I<path_to_libevent_include>
	LIBEVENT_LIB  = -L<path_to_libevent_library> -levent

To build libspserver.so, type

$ cd spserver
$ make

This will build all the targets include examples. You can run the
example programs:

$ ./testsmtp
[msg] This server is listening on port [1025].

Open another console, use telnet to test:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 1025
	Trying 127.0.0.1...
	Connected to 127.0.0.1.
	Escape character is '^]'.

	220 SMTP Server Ready
	helo abc
	250 ok.
	mail from:<abc@abc.com>
	250 sender ok.
	rcpt to:<foo@bar.com>
	250 recipient ok.
	data
	354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
	From: abc@abc.com
	To: foo@bar.com 
	Subject: test
	
	test
	.
	250 Requested mail action okay, completed.
	quit
	221 Closing connection. Good bye.
	Connection closed by foreign host.

3.Credits

Special thanks go to Andrew Danforth, who provides a good solution to
use libevent in multithreaded environment.

Any and all comments are appreciated.

Enjoy!
