I have quite a similar problem as the original poster. I'd like to write a router for CORBA messages that should listen on a socket and forward the messages to JMS. Same as the OP I would like to host the code in Tomcat, to avoid having to handle all the threading and socket issues and still more importantly, to not have an additional process that would have to be monitored.
I think, the Servlet API originally was designed to support http-less Servlets, else the separation between GenericServlet HttpServlet would not make sense. >From the Servlet API doc: "Defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet. To write an HTTP servlet GenericServlet for use on the Web, extend HttpServlet instead." So, the problem is, right now it seems that Tomcat does not support GenericServlet, at least there is no way to call them without a http header line. Or ist there? An easy way were to just define a special non-http connector that listens on a separate port. The option to just add a "GET / HTTP/1.0" as was suggested would not work as a CORBA client certainly will not send that line. Supporting http-less GenericServlets would open up Tomcat to another class of applications. Regards Juergen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
