Hi, BACKGROUND:
I have been using the tomcat connector for Netscape / SunONE web server from the tomcat-connectors-1.2.23-src bundle available from the main tomcat site. I have found that connections are not being re-used by the connector. i.e. the connector opens a separate connection to tomcat for each and every request it's configured to pass to tomcat and then closes that connection after receiving it's response. When I enable debug logging for the connector I see messages telling me that connection re-use is disabled. I found reference to an option for apache to disable re-use but nothing for Netscape. Looking at the source code I find that all but the Netscape connector appear to have a "s->disable_reuse = JK_FALSE;" statement in the "init_ws_service" function in the connector source code file (jk_nsapi_plugin.c for Netscape). As a test I have added this to the Netscape connector and re-compiled and it now re-uses connections which is an obvious performance gain (I'm assuming here as I haven't benchmarked anything). The implication is that someone either explicitly set re-use to be disabled for Netscape, presumably due to problems not immediately obvious if re-use is enabled,, or someone changed the common code to make re-use optional but forgot to enable it by default in the Netscape connector. I only suggest the latter as there is no immediately obvious indication that it is intentionally disable in Netscape and the plug-in seems to work with it enabled after some very brief testing. QUESTION: Can anyone confirm or deny whether the Netscape connector should not have connection re-use enabled as the other connectors do. Some overview of any reason would also be much appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.
