How can we write plugin/module for IBM Http server? I googled but I am unable to find even a single tutorial on this. I want to start with simple "Hello world" plugin.

Also, Is it possible to write the plugin in java?

I see IBM Http server(IHS) is based on Apache HTTP server. Does that mean IHS plugin needs to be created just like Apache modules?

Yes, IBM HTTP Server plugins are just normal Apache HTTP Server Modules.

An example module ships in the example_module/ subdirectory of the installation. It's quite verbose because it implements every phase of Apache processing and uses every configuration mechanism. A hello world module.

The best resource is Nick Kew's "Apache Modules" book as well as some of the smaller modules in the httpd.apache.org source download.
