Hello everybody, I have following section in server.xml
<Connector port="8080" maxThreads="25" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="15" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value to 0 --> <!-- Note : To use gzip compression you could set the following properties : compression="on" compressionMinSize="2048" noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata" compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml" --> <!-- Define a SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8443 --> <!-- <Connector port="8443" maxThreads="25" minSpareThreads="5" maxSpareThreads="15" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true" acceptCount="100" debug="0" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" /> --> <!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 --> <Connector port="8009" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" debug="0" protocol="AJP/1.3" /> I have following queries: 1) When I start tomcat with above server.xml , it creates 9 process with same output on shell. it is /usr/java/jdk1.5.0//bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/local/tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath /usr/java/jdk1.5.0//lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/local/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/usr/local/tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/local/tomcat/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start. I configured tomcat to run with minSpareThreads="5" then why it start with 9 threads? 2) In tomcat , port 8080 is redirected to SSL port 8443. Why NON-SSL port is redited to SSL port? Please help me to understand these basics. Amit Gupta
