The core servlet model can't really be converted to using non-blocking I/O. The whole point is that your servlet gets its own thread. On the other hand, other servlet containers have been doing things like using NIO to watch idle persistent connections, and there look to be great opportunities for improving standalone Tomcat's performance in sending static files. There are some threads in the tomcat-dev archives you might want to check out. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
