Hijacking the coyote connector
In tomcat 5.0.28, we were able to replace the coyote connector using a className setting in the connector in server.xml. In tomcat 5.5.9 it looks like className is ignored. Looking at the source, it looks like the Connector is hardcoded in. Is this the case or am I missing something? My next attempt, I repackaged our connector to replace the org.apache.catalina.connector package and put that in the -Xbootclasspath to override the released version. With -verbose:class set I can see my Connector being loaded, but the next class loaded is java/lang/reflect/InvocationTargetException and the JVM terminates. The documentation says that this is used to wrap an exception when a method or constructor is called by reflection. As I said above it looks to me like the constructor is called directly not via reflection. Am I missing something obvious? I know that using the AJP connector is a cleaner way, but we estimate the serialization overhead will cost us about 5% on our platform.

RE: Hijacking the coyote connector
From: Dobbins, Michael G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hijacking the coyote connector My next attempt, I repackaged our connector to replace the org.apache.catalina.connector package and put that in the -Xbootclasspath I don't think that's the right place. -Xbootclasspath should be used only to override or augment the jars in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib (e.g., rt.jar, jsse.jar), not classes that come out of Tomcat's server/lib. I suspect things ended up under the wrong classloader, making life difficult for all concerned. You will probably have to just replace server/lib/catalina.jar with your modified version. I don't see where className was ever a documented attribute for a Connector element in 5.0 (although it apparently was in 4.1); it is a valid attribute for Service though. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
