Abstract

A web server arrangement is provided having a kernel-mode listener service capable of receiving web requests and providing the web requests to at least one user mode web application. The listener service and the web application are operatively configured by a user-mode administrative process. The administrative process is configured to determine when a web application needs to be recycled and to selectively recycle web applications.
