Thanks a lot. That was very clear. I knew the forward caused the communication to stay on the same server. But I was not clear if it communicated by calling a class/object or by going through some type of connection stream. That was very helpful. If it had communicated on the same server via a connection stream then that meant the change I made to a servlet might need to have additional connections added to the tomcat configuration. But since it appears to go from one class/object to another then I won't have to change the configuration settings.
Thanks again.

It is a bit difficult to answer, because in fact it doesn't have anything to do with the connection, and yet.. Let's try this : - It certainly does not create a new connection, be it AJP or otherwise. - It doesn't "re-use" the existing connection. Its is just that the same connection continues to exist while this is taking place, and it just continues to use it to read request data from, and output response data to. - It doesn't have anything to do with the Connector through which the connection was established. - It is purely internal to the server, say like "ok, I'll use that servlet code to respond to the client, instead of this one." --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
