Where can I get more information about the design and use of Tomcat in regards to non-http servlet applications? I tried searching in the mailing list archives for "non http" and found this thread:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-dev/200004.mbox/%3c38F4C980. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This thread was from April 2000 and Tomcat 3.x and the developers were still trying to figure out the architecture of generic vs. http servlets. I am interested in writing a servlet that would derive from GenericServlet and I am wondering if I will be able to use Tomcat as the servlet container. My application would doesn't have anything to do with email or ftp or the like. What I would like to do is something similar to JSP but instead of the response being html it would be instructions to run a CNC machine Other google searches have not turned up much information about how to use Tomcat in this way. If it is not currently designed for such a purpose, would it be possible to modify or extend Tomcat so that it would be able to? Thanks in advance for any help Sean Nagle
