BoxLang with CommandBox
Overview
CommandBox is the enterprise Java servlet deployment option for BoxLang. Unlike the MiniServer (Undertow, no-servlet), CommandBox runs BoxLang inside a full Java EE servlet container (Undertow with servlet API), enabling enterprise features like multi-site hosting, SSL management, OS service integration, and JDK management.
