Well, the first thing that you need is a ProtocolHandler (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/ProtocolHandler.html). Any attributes that are put into the <Connector /> element will be passed JavaBean-style to your ProtocolHandler, so you can take care of configuration that way. It is the job of the ProtocolHandler to accept requests, manage threads, and pass the request back off to the Adapter (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/Adapter.html) that Tomcat gives it. Most of the time, you will also need to implement ActionHook (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/ActionHook.html) for best results. You mentioned something about modifying the AJP Connector. The JK AJP Connector (the one under o.a.jk) has a plugable archatecture that may allow you to reuse some of the bits (in particular, ChannelSocket/ChannelNioSocket) if your protocol is close enough (or you can change it to be :). > So what people are saying is "get the source and build it" as step #1 ?? > > At 16:38 3/2/2007, you wrote: >>Seems to me that looking at the differences in source between two >>connectors (e.g. AJP and HTTP) would be the best documentation of >>what you'll have to change :-) > As of TC 6, there are 3 supported AJP Connectors, and 3 supported HTTP connectors ;-). > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
