What sort of a protocol are you looking at? My understanding is that _any_
request/reply based messaging could be done this way.
I have no idea about this in practice, but AFAIK I cant see any reason why
you'd need to depart from a standard web.xml file. I'm assuming that the
servlet-class needs to be a Servlet (not HttpServlet). How far have you got
with this? I'd be really interested to hear more.
btw - on a side note, which may be (vaguely) related. I once tried to create
my own HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse types for use within a
servlet, to simulate firing a request to a RequestDispatcher. It didn't work
- the first line of forward was attempted casting my HttpServletRequest to a
tomcat specific class. Not sure how legit what I was doing is, or how legit
tomcat's casting was, but it didn't work. Things like this _might, maybe_ be
of some use to you (o:
