Hey Bill, Thanks alot for this help of yours. I will get back to you if I face problems in it. :) Viraj K.

Re: configuring Tomcat for protocols other than http/s
Is there anything more about this, other than the (very poor) javadocs, or is the only option is looking in the code?

configuring Tomcat for protocols other than http/s
Hi all, I am starting to work with Tomcat's code and have no clue where to start from. Any pointers would be very very helpful.

Re: configuring Tomcat for protocols other than http/s
Instead of goign through the over head of Tomcat, why not write your own custom port listener and implement whatever protocol you want? You will know that the sender has to adhere to that protocol standard and you would adhere to same protocol as well.. Most protocols are just extensions of TCPIP.

Re: configuring Tomcat for protocols other than http/s
Yeah.. you are write. But actually I am planning to use Tomcat's servlet container's capability.
