STILTS is generally run by issuing commands from some kind of command line. However, facilities are also included to run it as a service, accepting commands via HTTP. The basic implementation of this is in the form of some Servlet implementations that can be run in a servlet container. At present the following servlets are provided:
In order to run them there are a few options:
server
command
server
command.
If you run this, the services will start up immediately and print
information about the base URL.
Some configuration of available functions and data access
is offered by the command line parameters.

which is included in the STILTS distribution.
web.xml
file
in the usual way; look at the
StiltsContext
class
to see the available configuration parameters.
http://localhost:2112/stilts/will show you links to documentation for the available services.
The different services are described further in the following subsections.
Note:
The server
command and associated servlet code are
somewhat experimental.
