Hmm... you're right. I was thinking that the System.exit() would kill the process and therefore the connection, but by the time the JVM dies, the connection has already been made, proving the liveness of the instance (nb: Mozilla Thunderbird does not consider 'liveness' to be a correctly-spelled English word). > Can [the listening port] be for example half-open ? Perhaps. How about this: ServerSocket socket = new ServerSocket(8080); // No subsequent socket.accept() call > And is a half-open port 8080 equivalent to a fully-open port 4040, or > does it just have only half the bandwidth ? Half the bandwidth, I think. "Half" would refer to its openness, not to its port number, but maybe only half of the data gets through per unit time. How many gigabits does the average cat hold? (nb: tb does not consider 'gigabits' to be a correctly-spelled word, though 'gigabytes' /is/). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEUEARECAAYFAknbufcACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PANUQCXd3QHBarYGT4YouC4saqc27xM sgCgjILsEbGDO3+rKWZGx2aUZ7znzPY= =EpK1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
