Excuse the naivety but I thought you couldn't open a socket with J2EE. I was told (I think on this list) that you need to use a JCA to make the connection.
If this is true I want to know about this. I am so far under the impression if you needed to connect with another protocol in a servlet you could in essence (Worst case scenario) "write a server" inside a servlet using sockets. But that would require you write all the code to handle aborting startup/shutdown thread management etc etc. If I can have a "tweaked" protocol servlet as part of a multi-servlet application this would make a perfect model for the "gateway" type of application between HTTP and a non (exactly) HTTP protocol we are trying to support.
Can you "write a server" inside a servlet ?? PK At 06:46 2/28/2007, you wrote:
