I eventually read enough of the Tomcat source code to recognize what was happening. Here's the explanation. We had a <Connector> for https that defined both protocol="TLS" and sslProtocol="TLS". That was an error. Tomcat was trying to create an instance of CoyoteConnector for protocol TLS, but that class only recognizes protocols HTTP/1.1 and AJP/1.3. So Tomcat created a null protocol handler for the connector. Once I removed the protocol attribute, which made it use the default protocols HTTP/1.1, all was well. All of our backup copies of the configuration files contain the incorrect attribute, so it seems like it should never have worked. I don't understand why it once did, but I'm happy to have it working again. -- Glenn Holliday Computer Sciences Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] 540-644-6636 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a PRIVATE message.
