ServerSocketFactories for Connectors

[Anton Ushakov <an...@stanford.edu>]

Hi,

For a webservices project we need to override the ServerSocketFactory
used with a http connector, - we are implementing our own httpg using
overriden Input/Output streams that do GSS-API authentication.

It works fine when I do this in server.xml on tomcat-4.1.29
    <Connector
className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
               port="6688" scheme="httpg" secure="true">
    <Factory className="MyOwnServerSocketFactory" />
    </Connector>

But I know that HttpConnector is deprecated in favor of CoyoteConnector,
and the same configuration with the CoyoteConnector basically ignores
the Factory setting, and just keeps using normal http. 

Question: how can we override the ServerSocketFactory for the
CoyoteConnector?

thank you
-anton

Yes, the <Factory> element is deprecated for the CoyoteConnector.

You can set the
socketFactory="fully.qualified.name.of.MyOwnServerSocketFactory" attribute
on the <Connector> element.  The catch is that you need to have:
  public class MyOwnServerSocketFactory extends
org.apache.tomcat.util.net.ServerSocketFactory {
...
}

However, it should still give you enough to do what you want.
