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: juergen@jwi.de
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.

That's a nice, cool theory. If you'd like to submit a patch to facilitate these
protocol-agnostic servlets, I'd love to take a look at it. Otherwise, judging
by the absolute lack of interest from anyone else in this issue, I doubt it's
going to get done.
