Hi all, I am not so conversant with the admin aspects of TOMCAT. Is there a direct way to instruct TOMCAT to shut-down any client request/communications when some adverse conditions are detectd on the server. Something like .... a java app that handles requests from clients is too busy or ran out of space and requires some time to recover. I think such a functionality should be available in other web-servers as such.... Or should i tweak some entry point so that i can have my own gatekeeper....????
