Hi,
 
I have checked the code in Tomcat again, and although it is very confusing I 
feel I did understand something here and there :) 
 
However I have a question - where is the adapter being set? No Adapter is being 
initialized in the 'JIoEndPoint', 'Http11Protocol' and 'Http11Processor'. I 
also checked the 'server.xml' file and this is not being set! From the API 
documentation I found out the 'CoyoteAdapter'; so is this the default being 
used for Tomcat? Is it the CoyoteAdapter which is responsible to find the 
servlet for which the request is? or? 
 
Thanks for any comments,
Simon J.
