Hi Folks! What is the best way for an administrator to tell Tomcat (or maybe tell a specific servlet) to temporarily stop accepting new requests for a running servlet?
I'm thinking of a scheme like this: I put code in the servlet doGet()/doPost() processing block of the servlet and have it check if a particular file somewhere exists. If so, send request reject message to client. If the file does not exist, go ahead with the processing. Downside: Someone that knows could use it to cause denial of service to my servlet, but security checks can be put in place to make it harder to do so. What do you folks think?
