[Cuis-dev] Cuis web package

[Mark Volkmann]

What can I do to prevent the `WebServer` instance from being garbage
collected?
I thought this would work:

- make `server` be an instance variable of my `MyWebServer` class
- set that variable in the `initialize` method of that class to a new
instance of `WebServer`
- create an instance of `MyWebServer` in a Workspace like this:

server := MyWebServer new.

That did not work. It seems the instance of `WebServer` that is supposedly
held by the instance of `MyWebServer` still gets GCed.
