Resumen
In this article, authors describe how they successfully applied dynamic object technology, including Common Lisp and Common Lisp Hypermedia Server (CL-HTTP), to rapidly put a large factory database onto the Web. CL-HTTP was used to convert a standalone Lisp application into a nearly instant Web server. Besides the CL-HTTP software itself, the conversion required a total of approximately 100 lines of new code, including one new class, two new explicitly exported URLs, and the modification of five existing methods and functions. The Web application is a part of an ongoing project to develop automated tools for scheduling wafer fabs (factories in which semiconductor wafers are fabricated) in Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector. Dynamic object technology has a long list of benefits. The existence of a fully-integrated, high-performance Web server, CL-HTTP, is a significant addition to those benefits. CL-HTTP, layered on top of an existing object-oriented Lisp application, has made it possible -- even easy -- to rapidly retarget a valuable data analysis and browsing application to the Web.
