The Apache-Tomcat coyote is much more restricted than the arazona.edu coyote. In Tomcat, Coyote is an abstraction of the HTTP/1.1 protocol only, that is agnostic to the transport protocol and wire-protocol that is used (i.e. it would be in theory possible to write a ProtocolHandler to work over FTP using sockets, or to write one that uses JNI or unix-sockets with say AJP/1.3 (which actually exist in Tomcat, but aren't really supported)). So as a result, it isn't really suited for things like multicasting. > I read some document on the internet.

It is a very simple framework that is intended to transform some protocol's request into an HTTP/1.1 request, and to translate the HTTP/1.1 reponse back into the same protocol's response. I'd suggest that you browse the javadocs on tomcat.apache.org for the org.apache.coyote package to learn more. > > Thanks your help, > > I appreciate it. > > §ùµ´ºô¸ôÀb«È¡A«O»Ù±b¸¹¦w¥þ - °¨¤W³]©w Yahoo!©_¼¯¦w¥þ¹Ï³¹¡I --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
