Can Tomcat accomplish this?

Hello:

I was just wondering if Tomcat is able to do something similar to what I've
described below.  If not, does anyone have any recommendations on a Web
Server that can?

I'm attempting to find a web server that can basically act as a hub.  Say if
someone attempts to send a SOAP request to http://1.1.1.1/message1 it will
redirect the message to the appropriate tool to handle it, whether it be a
Java program or maybe even another web server.  This next part is optional,
but ideal.  After the message is passed off to the appropriate handler, the
web server then waits for the response and will then forward it to the
original sender.

So does anyone know if Tomcat is able to handle this, or of any other web
server (open source) that can?

Thanks,

Chris Long

Maybe a reverse_proxy can do that.

That's too bad, because that's certainly what your requirement statement sounds like.

There's no web server that does this.  There are applications that run inside (or under) a web or app server that do this.

I may be missing something here, but it strikes me that this  
requirement has nothing to do with a
web server in particular, and everything to do with the application  
code which you write to
accomplish what you describe.

Unfortunately we're not looking for an ESB.  We're looking specifically for
a Web Server.  Does anyone know if mod_jk will handle this type of thing?

"I'm attempting to find a web server that can basically act as a hub.

Maybe an ESB ? (like "Mule")

Hello:

I was just wondering if Tomcat is able to do something similar to what
I've described below.  If not, does anyone have any recommendations on a
Web Server that can?

I'm attempting to find a web server that can basically act as a hub.
Say if someone attempts to send a SOAP request to
http://1.1.1.1/message1 it will redirect the message to the appropriate
tool to handle it, whether it be a Java program or maybe even another
web server.  This next part is optional, but ideal.  After the message
is passed off to the appropriate handler, the web server then waits for
the response and will then forward it to the original sender.

So does anyone know if Tomcat is able to handle this, or of any other
web server (open source) that can?

Thanks,

Chris Long

Apache Tuscany, perhaps.
