Pretty much guaranteed not to be, since that would require stopping and restarting Tomcat. > The situation is that we have some existing programs > (written in C) that are socket servers. It's not clear to me exactly what you mean by "are socket servers". Do you mean they simply do a listen/accept on a server socket, waiting for connection requests from some client? If so, what protocol is being used? If it's not HTTP (or AJP), Tomcat won't help you. Handling server sockets in Java borders on the trivial; using Tomcat just for that would be massive overkill. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
