Is this actually customizable? What is this location in a server environment with multiple machines and e.g. a central file-server or database.

Yes, I would definitly try to build a simple sample application. I would prefer something really simple like a Weblog with "Posts" and "Comments". To avoid unnecessary dependencies we could try to avoid a Database and just write to the current user session or something. Just a simple persistence interface but let the HTTP Session be the DB. that way we avoid lots of heavy frameworks like Hibernate etc. I think the goal should be to show people where the important hooks are to build their own application. This sample app should answer the following questions:
* What is the first thing I need to do to build an own app from scratch based on gyrex?
* If I have a servlet XYZ, where do I configure (or what glue code do I need to write) it so that I can call it via http://localhost/myapp/myservlet
* My App wants to use a Logger, what code do I need to write to use Gyrex Logger
* my app wants to store some properties (configuration data) somewhere. Where is the best place to do this
In the end writing a new app on gyrex should be as easy as Ruby on Rails.
That's it for the beginning :)
Thanks
Christoph

No, it's a naked server. ;)
