<p>Binds an entry-point to a callback function to create a new application. </p>
<p>The <code>path</code> is the local URL at which the application is deployed: when a user visits this URL, the callback will be called to create a new application. If empty, the URL is inferred from the server configuration's deploy-path (see also <a class="el" href="overview.html#config_wthttpd">Built-in httpd configuration</a>).</p>
<p>The path must start with a '/'.</p>
<p>The optional <code>favicon</code> is a URL path (which should not contain the host part!) to a favicon, which is the icon displayed in the browser for your application. Alternatively, you may specify a favicon using the "favicon" property in the configuration file (see als <a class="el" href="overview.html#config_general">Application</a> settings (wt_config.xml)"). </p>

<p>Posts a function to a session. </p>
<p>This is a thread-safe method to post a particular event (implemented as a function object) to be run within the context of a session, identified by its <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#ab55c625a3197fec416544be8ad1529af" title="Returns the unique identifier for the current session.">WApplication::sessionId()</a>. The method will safely handle the case where the session is being terminated, and the session lock will be taken to execute the function in the context of the session (with <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#a38d922da0a0d83395519f3eaab85d0f6" title="Returns the current application instance.">WApplication::instance()</a> pointing to the correct application), just as with a request initiated by the browser. You will typically also want to push the changes to the client using server-initiated updates (<a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#a51f50e0641a6d702a7c6ab7f8dd5946a" title="Propagates server-initiated updates.">WApplication::triggerUpdate()</a>).</p>
<p>The method returns immediately, and the function will be run within the thread-pool that handles incoming web requests. In this way, it avoids dead-lock scenarios.</p>
<p>If a <code>fallbackFunction</code> is specified then in case the session is dead, it is called instead.</p>
<p>This provides a good alternative to grabbing the update lock of an application to directly push changes to a session out of its event loop.</p>
<p>Note that if you post an event to a method of a widget (or other object), it may still be that the targeted object has been deleted, if the life-time of that object is not the same as the life-time of the application. It may be useful to protect yourself from this by using <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WApplication.html#aae1c2ee7c4dd469eb83299524ac0e7ee" title="Protects a function against deletion of the target object.">WApplication::bind()</a>. </p>
