<section name="Introduction">
<p>
JTC means Jakarta-Tomcat-Connectors. jakarta-tomcat-connectors is the
repository of the Tomcat connectors sources.
The connectors are released together with Tomcat. For example you can find
the connectors sources in
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.x/release/v4.x.y/src/
The tarball are named like:
jakarta-tomcat-connectors-4.x.y-src.tar.gz
</p>
<p>
There are two different types of connectors. Connectors that allow browsers to
connect directly to the Tomcat and connectors that do it through a Web Server.
</p>
<p>
The connectors allowing direct connections are in the binary of Tomcat.
They are jar files.
</p>
<p>
The connectors used with a Web Server are made of 2 components. One written
in Java and the other written in C. The Java part is made of jar files are
inclosed in the Tomcat binaries.
</p>
<p>
The binary builds of connectors are available in
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.x.y/bin/plaform.
For example the Apache Solaris8 *.so files for SPARC will be in the
solaris8/sparc subdirectory. (Do not hesitate to ask for the binary needed for
your platform to the Tomcat mail lists, but be patient).

<section name="Why a Tomcat connector with a native Web Server?">
<p>
A Web Server can host different applications written using PERL, PHP, C or
any other language. If one application is written in Java using the Servlet
API a connector is need to route the requests from the Web Server to the
Servlet Engine. In the case a Web Server specific connector is needed.
Most of the Web Servers allow to load dynamic extentions (DLL). Some of these
extentions are available in the binary builds of connectors.
