Was just thinking about this, and am curious to know (though it's pretty trivial)... Is there any functional difference between the two options - if they're both even possible? Which would you go with? - 1 Service element with 5 HTTP connectors (each on a different port) and one Engine with 5 Hos

Thanks for that great answer! I'm hoping you could help clarify my understanding and answer some more questions that your response brought up... Based on the behavior you specified of ThreadLocals sticking around after the webapp is undeployed, is it correct to say that the thread pool you mentio

You mention the use of filters, which leads me to the question of where is it safe to start using a request-scoped object stored in a ThreadLocal? Would it be safe to use in a filter, listener, or only once request processing gets to the servlet? A different way of asking this question is where/w

I had to deal with a lot of null values coming back from a database. I may have been reinventing the wheel but I wrote a little DBUtil class that I used to sanitize the returned data. I wrote a get for each type of data and did a try catch. If the data came back not null I simply returned it, if

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Turns out that in apache 2.2 there is a flushpackets option in mod_proxy. I'll have to upgrade since it's not available in 2.0. I missed it because it's not an actual directive but an option to the ProxyPass directive (I was looking at ProxyIOBufferSize). |Regards,

Hi all, I wrote a Comet servlet for Tomcat, and am ready to deploy it. However, my "normal" mode of deployment, namely Apache + mod_jk in front of Tomcat no longer works in this situation because Comet requires the NIO or APR connectors, which do not support mod_jk. I also tried using mod_pro
