We have a COBOL back end that handles the core functions of our product. The only way we have for the servlet based front end to get at that data is via a type 1 odbc driver. It is a real pain because it is not thread safe so we have to funnel all the traffic through a single thread.
Anyway, I got the APR working and managed to fire up Tomcat with the APR connector but my original problem (in another email) remains. That being that calls to a Comet servlet I created return a 400 response saying that the URL does not support get requests. I tried NIO first and thought that APR would perhaps solve my problem. So now I am giving up and trying to have a go with glassfish instead. Thanks for your help!!
