Hi, Tomcat, like Apache httpd, implements the HTTP procotol, as specified here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt?number=2616. That includes the connection handling part.
If you're talking about other tomcat connectors, e.g. ones that implement the AJP protocol, the specification and handling may be vastly different from HTTP. So you need to be clearer in your question.

I'd like to know how Tomcat treats it connection established with the client (browser). Seeing from what apache does ( that is, the browser asks for a connection, the server responds, returns the page, and then sends a close statement to the client. The client receives the page, the close statement and confirms the close. After that, that specific connection is dead) does Tomcat act similarly ? I've noticed that I get lots and lots of java processes running and with a close_wait status. Does this mean that it doesn't close each request made from the browser ? Thanks a lot.
