[Klone-users] recommended source code reading order

[Steven Dorigotti]

Dear Patrick,

  for starters, have you taken a look at the APIs for an overview of
klone's core objects?
http://koanlogic.com/klone/api/html/index.html

  Now, coming to your specific Lua application, which of the following
is your precise requirement?
(1) using lua to modify web content dynamically / at runtime?
(2) embed lua code into kl1 files to execute lua code via klone?
(3) other?

(1) sounds very powerful but would require executing the lua
interpreter as a separate CGI and performance might be rather poor...
otherwise you could look at building an engine (separate daemon)
though which the interpreter would communicate with kloned (quite a
substantial extension to klone's architecture).

(2) requires recompilation of the your web application for each lua
code modification but performance should be surprising. It should
require only a few code extensions to link kloned to the interpreter
library and to handle lua code embedded in kl1 pages.

Let us know - cheers,
sd

ps: interesting link for other lua intergration projects:
http://members.chello.nl/~w.couwenberg/
you could use a similar approach to create lua wrappers around klone's
io_t, request_t, response_t and session_t object methods which provide
the interface to the kl1 execution engine.
