RE: J2EE Connector 1.5 Specification
Hi,
Sorry to bring this up again. I read most of the connector specification and I feel I understand better the concepts. I therefore tried to download tranql source code to have the source code of an outbound connector. However it seems that the cvs repository for this does not work since my cvs client is telling me that the host could not be found. Does anyone know from where I can download examples of inbound and outbound connectors?
Thanks and Regards,
Simon J.

Based on the level of writing in the documentation I would be careful using txconnect. I only looked at the documentation for a couple minutes. While I did not see any of the glaring errors I usually find in j2ca projects it looks to me as if there were quite a few misleading statements.
If you are looking for a framework for building outbound j2ca connectors, there is also the codehaus tranql project which is under asl 2.0. Geronimo ships with the tranql db adapters to provide jdbc connectivity.
However, based on your original attempt to do something related to a tomcat http connector I really doubt you are interested in an outbound connector, which is designed to let your server program connect to other programs such as a database, SAP, CICS, etc as a client.
You might possibly be interested in a j2ca inbound connector. The standard example of these is a jms implementation supplying messages to mdbs.
Perhaps you could explain what you are trying to do:
- what the source of messages is- what transport and protocol they travel over- what the consumer of the messages is- whether the communication is synchronous (message receiver sends a reply back to the message sender) or asynchronous (no reply to messages, such as with MOM or jms)- which role(s) your server program will be playing- how many clients, servers, and messages you want to handle
