Sorry I meant it was a java issue (typo!) -----Original Message----- From: Edward Quick Sent: 17 October 2011 09:17 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: ssl handshake problem
Hi Andre, thanks for your reply. I tested this a bit more and did a write up of the problem for anyone who's interested http://www.linuxcrusaders.org/blog/node/45 Obviously it wasn't a java issue not tomcat-related though.

In such a case, as far as I know Tomcat is not involved at all. It doesn't even know that the webapp is doing that, and has no reason to be caching anything. This being said, since both Tomcat and the webapp "run inside" the same JVM, there may be things cached /by the JVM/. My knowledge of these things is insufficient to know if such things cached by the JVM could be shared between Tomcat and the webapp. Intuitively however, I would tend to think that whatever in-memory structure/object is used by Tomcat for its own SSL Connector(s), is probably distinct from the in-memory structure/object used by this webapp to store information related to its own independent connections. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
