Where can I get more information about the design and use of Tomcat in

This thread was from April 2000 and Tomcat 3.x and the developers were still
trying to figure out the architecture of generic vs. http servlets.

I am interested in writing a servlet that would derive from GenericServlet
and I am wondering if I will be able to use Tomcat as the servlet container.
My application would doesn't have anything to do with email or ftp or the
like. What I would like to do is something similar to JSP but instead of the
response being html it would be instructions to run a CNC machine

Other google searches have not turned up much information about how to use
Tomcat in this way.

If it is not currently designed for such a purpose,
Tomcat currently only supports two protocols HTTP and AJP. What protocol did you want to use?
 would it be possible to
modify or extend Tomcat so that it would be able to?
yes it is, but it's not trivial. It would depend on what protocol you want to use.

Thanks in advance for any help
