Like other Web Application Server, hevea supports static content as well as dynamic content.
You may use hevea for data transfer over http: a client posts data to one hevea application url which processes it and gives back a result.
This can be done through an implementation similar to Http Handler or through a Web service.
You can use hevea to build Web-based application, using the provided Html UI controls, or through implementing you own controls.
(ASP.NET pages and controls are not currently supported)
Some hevea characteristics :
- UTF-8 text encoding
- file upload support
- HTTPS (SSL3) support
- Web Service support
- remote user and user profiles management through the included web console
- embedded file explorer

Of course hevea has not he pretention to compete with Apache/Tomcat or IIS. The main advantage of hevea is that it can
be embedded in your application.
That means, no need to deploy and maintain a specific web project, no need to configure and monitor the external server...
Additionnaly, depending on the process that you implement thanks to hevea, you will certainly have to exchange data with your own
server process. Since hevea runs the same application domain, no need to implement remoting channels !

Typical usecases :
- adding web-based frontal / monitoring console to a server application (service for instance)
- support for data exchange over HTTP by a server application (service for instance)
