LRWP In Java is an implementation of the LRWP protocol in Java using Servlets.

The Long Running Web Process (LRWP) is a protocol used by a web server to communicate with its peers. LRWP is similar to CGI, but faster, since the peer is persistent across requests. In LRWP, a TCP connection is established between the LRWP peer and a LRWP agent. The LRWP agent could be the web container or a process running within the web container and the LRWP peer could be any process running on a network. The LRWP peer at connection registers the web context that the peer is interested in. The web context could be any context, such as "/osp", "/tep", or "/cgi-bin" itself. When a request for that context is made, the agent transfers the input to the LRWP peer and sends the output from the peer back to the web client.

The LRWP in Java platform uses a servlet container to handle HTTP requests and also
uses servlets to handle the LRWP processing. This makes the LRWP implementation
very fast, faster than the Xitami LRWP implementation in C, see Making Java Technology Faster than C with LRWP, http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/javaC_LRWP.
