Dwarf server framework
Dwarf is a modular Java framework for developing network server applications based on Internet standards. While focused on building service-based applications like Web servers, mail servers, and messaging services, it can also be used for other applications. The core consists of several packages, which provide a multithreaded kernel, security based on the standard Java 2 Platform Security architecture and the JAAS, logging, configuration, and a management system. Modularity and a fine-grained API allow one to extend the server, to reuse the existing services for a new application, or even create new services based on the existing ones.

Changes: Reverse DNS lookup is added to the utility class DNSClient. Request queue optimization is added to the MultiThreadServer class. Setting the singleRequest parameter to true prevents simultaneous handling of multiple equal requests.

Changes: A static client and a dynamic service for simple DNS lookups was added. Transparent dumping of the network stream content to file was added. Support for IP-based and hostname-based filtering of network hosts was added. The service tree is traversable in a way similar to using the "cd" command on a filesystem.
