My application is a scientific data server that transfers large amounts of binary data. I am looking to make it as fast as possible and have been experimenting with the NIO FileChannel.transferTo() method. This appears to be much faster (3-10X) than using an OutputStream, under some circumstances. So I am trying to see if I can use this from within Tomcat.
So the question is whether there is a way to obtain a SocketChannel for the connection? The standard interface only allows to get an OutputStream. While Channels.newChannel(OutputStream out) gives a WriteableByteChannel, the transferTo() method does not work on it, apparently one needs to get the SocketChannel at a deeper level. Has anyone else tried this? Any ideas would be much appreciated. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
