Hello everybody,
I read a lot about the coyote connector and that it is possible to write
own connectors for Tomcat. But I did not find anything in the whole web,
how to do this. Now I am reading the source code of the coyote connector
and have some questions about it.
My problem is:
I am writing an application, which acts as an adapter for another
application to provide its functionality via Web Services to external
client applications. Therefore I am using Tomcat5 in embedded mode as
servlet engine and Apache Axis as framework for the web services.
Now I also have to connect legacy client systems to my new application
if possible. They communicate with the old external client interface
directly over sockets with streams via TCP/IP using proprietary message
protocols.
The alternative way would be to write an own SocketServer before Tomcat
to make HTTP-Requests and to forward them to the Servlet Engine.
Backwards the other way. But this would not be a smart and practicable
way for this task, I guess. So I decided to have a look to the connector
and maybe write my own connector for this.
Generally I have the question, if it is possible and if yes, how. Do I
have to write a whole connector, which implements this interface? Or is
it possible to use the coyote connector with an own implemenation of an
handlerclass, protocolclass and processclass? And how can I embed this
connector in Tomcat?
Hope someone may help me. Thanks a lot in advance,
Regards,
Daniela
