Hi Chris,
I did not get much in terms of reference, but here goes:
1.http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/apr.html
Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior scalability,
performance, and better integration with native server technologies. The Apache
Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache
HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO
functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL), OS level functionality
(random number generation, system status etc), and native process handling
(shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets).
I assumed Unix sockets meant Unix domain sockets, but looks like that might not
be the right assumption.
2.https://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc-archive/jk2/jk2/configwebex.html
This page, in the section titled "/example using AF_UNIX socket", there is a
sample configuration that appeared like the configuration of a Tomcat instance
to enable it to communicate with an Apache instance over Unix domain sockets.
However, as this page is an archived page, it is likely this is old
functionality that might have been supported earlier, but no longer.
Anyways, I think from your recommendation, and that of the others that too
responded to this email thread, it does not appear to be available out of the
box.
Thanks a lot for taking the time and trouble to clarify things...
