Hi,
I have checked the code but still find it a little bit hard to come with
something all by myself. I was wondering (although I am afraid I already know
the answer) is there any book that explains how tomcat (6.0) internally works
and explains how connectors can be developed for it? I tried searching on
Amazon but so far I did not have much luck.
