Not to hijack this thread but I was wondering the same thing. In my web app, I want to be able to receive TCP data on a socket. That data will then be parsed and saved to a DB. Clients would connect directly to the TCP socket and transfer the raw data.
Currently the way clients pass data is through the URL such as http://website.com/Servlet?var1=0&var2=1... Since these are mobile devices transmitting using GPRS, I want to eliminate all the http overhead and move to a straight TCP connection. Any thoughts?

To give advice I'd need to know more about your server including... -- how do it's clients connect to it -- what geronimo services you want it to use. -- what setup happens when you start it now For future-proofing this at the risk of having more uncertainty now you might want to consider packaging your server as an osgi bundle and starting it with an activator (or assembling it with osgi blueprint) and using geronimo 3 (still definitely under development) or if you don't need significant geronimo services felix karaf. thanks david jencks On May 5, 2010, at 10:10 AM, Kevin Winterton wrote: > Hi, > > I have designed a Java application that runs like its own server and has php > websites communicating directly with it.
