Introduction

There is two ways to initialize the server :

1. As a standelone server
2. As an embeded server

 Both initialization are different, for the user perspective, but not from the developper perspective, as the first initializtion system embed the server, just adding some specific mechanism to stop the server (remember that the server can be launched as a daemon)

The server initialization is done in two steps. The first one read the confuguration, and set all the necessary structures, and the second step start the server.
