configuring Tomcat for protocols other than http/s
Hi all,
I am starting to work with Tomcat's code and have no clue where to start
from.
Any pointers would be very very helpful.
To start with, I would like to know whether Tomcat is configurable to work
with protocols other than http/https?
I want to configure Tomcat in such a way that it gives me RAW data that is
posted on given port.
Please let me know which server element is to be configured (and where..
server.xml?) such that forming request/response from RAW data is possible
for me.
This RAW data is not necessarily a http/https specific data. It could be
specific to any other protocol like ftp://.
Waiting for reply, thanks.

Well, one method is to implement your own ProtocolHandler (
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/ProtocolHandler.html).
This is responsible for setting up the Request and Response objects,
threading, and handling sending and receiving data on the protocol. It then
hands off the Request and Response to the service method of the Adapter
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/Adapter.html)
that Tomcat passed to it. The MemoryProtocolHandler
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/memory/MemoryProtocolHandler.html)
is the easiest if you want an example. You'll probably also want to
implement ActionHook
(http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/coyote/ActionHook.html)
for best results. You tell Tomcat to use yours via:
<Connector protocol="com.myfirm.mypackage.MyProtocolHandler" .... />

Well, it comes with AJP/1.3 support ;-). However, the servlet container
neutral to the protocol (that's the job of the ProtocolHandler :).

Yeah.. you are write.
But actually I am planning to use Tomcat's servlet container's capability.

Instead of goign through the over head of Tomcat, why not write your own
custom port listener and implement whatever protocol you want? You will
know that the sender has to adhere to that protocol standard and you would
adhere to same protocol as well.. Most protocols are just extensions of
TCPIP.
