Welcome
RunWAR is a web server targeted at running Java and CFML applications, with some added features for Adobe ColdFusion and Lucee (configurable web/admin context locations, and opening the admin pages from the taskbar).
RunWAR has a small memory footprint (10 MB on disk, ~5M min heap), while leveraging enterprise grade server technology-- and the inner workings are simple. It starts up very fast and has very small overhead. It’s great for running sites on even limited hardware like a Raspberry Pi since it has a smaller footprint than, say, Tomcat.
As small as RunWAR is, it still packs a lot of features. It can run any J2EE war including all recent versions of Adobe ColdFusion, Railo, and Lucee Server. It has a powerful Java-based web server built in that provides:
- URL Rewriting
- Virtual directories
- Basic Authencitcation
- Custom error pages
- Full control of JVM args
- System tray integration for managing servers
**Runwar **is powered under the hood by a project called Undertow which actually does all the work.
Undertow is a flexible performant web server written in java, providing both blocking and non-blocking API’s based on NIO. http://undertow.io
**Undertow **is what powers JBoss WildFly and is a very active project with tons of support for stuff like web sockets and HTTP 2.0 and has excellent performance.
Runwar also powers the servers for CommandBox, a CLI, REPL, package manager, and server for CFML developers.
