help needed building a Tomcat Connector

[Mark Hansen <kh...@yahoo.com>]

I'm building a Tomcat Connector to enable JMS communication with
HttpServlets.

I'm having problems understanding how the connector properties defined in
server.xml (e.g., port, enableLookups, minProcessors) are set when a
connector class (e.g., HttpConnector) gets loaded.  Obviously, my connector,
JmsConnector, will have a variety of JMS specific properties and I want to
be sure that I am setting them in a manner that is consistent with how this
is done for other connectors.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Mark Hansen

It's magic :-).

Actually, its a module called Digester (Tomcat 4.1 and later) or XmlMapper
(earlier versions of Tomcat) that looks at the attributes of the
<Connector> element, and matches them up to JavaBeans property setters for
the corresponding property names.  So, if you have configuration
properties "foo" and "bar" that you want to set in the server.xml element,
just make sure you have public setters "setFoo()" and "setBar()" for them.

For further info about Digester itself, see:
