Such support as there is amounts to HTTP under Diameter ;) Well, there isn't much documentation outside of the JavaDocs and the code. Probably the place to start is http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/api/org/apache/coyote/package-summary.html. You are correct that you need to create a ProtocolHandler. This classs is responsible for accepting requests, and passing them off to a Thread to handle them (more on that later). There are ThreadPool classes, and Executor support classes lying around that you might be able to use for the thread management (e.g. browse the org.apache.tomcat.util.net package to see if anything works for you). The Object in the thread then has to parse the request according to the protocol, and fill in a Request object (from org.apache.coyote), and initialize a Response object (same package). Look at the existing Connectors (especially MemoryConnector, which is the simplest) for how to do this. It then passes these off to the Adapter that Tomcat will pass to your ProtocolHandler. That will run it through your Servlet, and pump the data back to the client. You will possibly need InputBuffer and OutputBuffer implementations to do the protocol translation. I guess the last thing is that you enable it via <Connector protocol="com.myfirm.mypackage.MyProtocolHandler" ... /> and any attributes in in ... will be passed to your ProtocolHandler JavaBean style. > Thanks, > Ramsundar > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Connector-for-diameter-protocol-tp23519306p23519306.html > Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
