Hi All, I wanted to run Socket server program which wud act as a connection to another client application which wud provide data from the database...(sort of like a client to the socket).. and i wud have a web front end.. So i wud host the servlets/jsps in the webserver tomcat.. I wanted these to be run in the same jvm.. What are things i need to do to get this done.. I also wanted to know if i manage to do this above setup.. how will the servlets speak with the socket in telling something like what category of client to access etc..,
in simple terms the web front end can keep giving options and the servlets basically communicates with the already running sockets and make it update the clients connected to it.. (sort of like send messages to the client..when ever web fronted makes modification)..Note the Socket wud be always doing things in parallel.. It does not wait for the web client to invoke.. and sort of like a night batch but once it wud be initiated with front end.. If u need any clarification please let me know.. But if any one can suggest ways for me to achieve this i wud appreciate it..Thanks in advance. Regards Prabhu
