Well what I want is to have a dedicated port for a socket, I just want all the application infrastructure to be handled by Tomcat rather than a writing a custom solution. Not sure if dynamically rewriting server.xml is the way to go.
My guess would by a Valve/Connector type thing, but I'm just not that familiar with Tomcat. I can't be only one who has had this issue. The situation is that we have some existing programs (written in C) that are socket servers. I want to redo them in Java, and having Tomcat host them would be great because I could focus solely on the parts of the program than do request processing and leave the housekeeping to Tomcat. In other words, I want to write servlets that are faux-sockets.
