* @{
* FastCGI Application Server w/ templates.
*
* Libfast is a framework to write web applications in an MVC fashion. It uses
* the ClearSilver template engine and communicates through FastCGI with
* the webserver. It is multithreaded and really fast.
*
* The application has a global context and a session context. The global
* context is accessed from all sessions simultaneously and therefore
* needs to be threadsave. Often a database wrapper is the global context.
* The session context is instanciated per session. Sessions are managed
* automatically through session cookies. The session context is kept alive
* until the session times out. It must implement the context_t interface and
* a #fast_context_constructor_t is needed to create instances. To each session,
* a set of controllers gets instanciated. The controller instances are per
* session, so you can hold private data for each user.
* Controllers need to implement the controller_t interface and need a
* #fast_controller_constructor_t function to create instances.
*
* A small example shows how to set up libfast:
* @code
fast_fast_dispatcher_t *dispatcher;
your_global_context_implementation_t *global;
global = initialize_your_global_context();
dispatcher = fast_dispatcher_create(NULL, FALSE, 180,
(context_constructor_t)your_session_context_create, global);
dispatcher->add_controller(dispatcher, your_controller1_create, param1);
dispatcher->add_controller(dispatcher, your_controller2_create, param2);
dispatcher->run(dispatcher, 20);
dispatcher->waitsignal(dispatcher);
dispatcher->destroy(dispatcher);
global->destroy();
