Why not just write a standalone server, if you're not using HTTP? Or, even simpler, why not have the client use POST and read the body as an input stream in the servlet? This does allow you to send "raw data" from a client to a Servlet. Consult any good book on Servlet Programming for how to do it. This way you get all the benefits of Tomcat without having to rewrite it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - DISCLAIMER- - - - - - - - Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in this message is privileged and confidential, and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.
