When you say "machine"... you mean ... what, exactly?

If you develop a webapp that listens for TCP/UDP sockets, where is the
socket bind occurring? If it's your webapp, then it really has nothing
to do with Tomcat at all: it's just like writing a non-webapp program
that binds to a socket and listens.

If you want to delegate incoming requests to threads from Tomcat's
request processor pool, that might be a bit tricky. Is that what you'd
like to do?

Do you really need Tomcat in this situation?

Probably both, but it depends on your answer to the above questions.

Why do you want to build this as a web-based application if HTTP isn't
really involved?
