http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39862 Summary: provide support for protocol-independent GenericServlet Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.9 Platform: Other URL: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5- doc/servletapi/javax/servlet/GenericServlet.html OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The API doc for javax.servlet.GenericServlet states: "Defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet." Currently Tomcat does not support protocol-independent servlets, because there has to be a HTTP header line to route the message to a web applicaton and servlet. To support protocol-independent servlets, there would have to be a mapping from a dedicated port to the GenericServlet instance. For each active GenericServlet Tomcat would have to create a ServerSocket, listen on it and route traffic to the GenericServlet instance. Protocol-independent GenericServlets would be useful for hosting Socket Server applications within Tomcat, so the application developer wouldn't have to cope with Sockets and threading issues. In the original spirit of Servlets Tomcat would open up to a greater range of server based applications beside web applications. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
