Running webserver from another thread

[David Frese]

Hello everybody,

The api docs for immutant.web/run states at the very end, that:

`all invocations of runmust be within the initialization function for your application, i.e. your -main.`

What's bad if I run it from another thread? (can't see immediate problems if I do)

Thanks,

David

David:

That sentence only applies when running inside WildFly. When inside
WildFly, we invoke your -main from within a ServletContextListener in
order to be able to dynamically register a Servlet for each
immutant.web/run invocation. If you call immutant.web/run in a
different thread, the ServletContext won't be available, and we can't
register the handler as a Servlet. If you aren't using WildFly and
have no intention of using it in the future, you can ignore this
caveat.

Thanks, and yes, I'm using it only as a webserver within a larger application where it would be difficult to start it from main.
