I do not mean to insult your intelligence on the matter, but we are not getting anywhere on the matter. I feel like we are going off on a tangent and are just wasting time (because you don't know the solution). Everything you have told me to do then I already know about and would like to correct you on some of the things you told me. First of all, I know what connections and sockets are and infact, a socket is a connection! (Don't argue with the intricate details of whether a unconnected socket is a connection or a dormant connection waiting to happen because anything valuable do with a socket is a connection!) I have programmed large concurrent/multithreading programming projects including torents and servers that deal with all kinds of sockets in many different contexts in many different languages. I know what a socket is! Anything valuable to do with a socket is a connection! And.... how do you define a socket without its port number and IPaddress? A socket is meaningless without this. If you don't believe me then here are some references from Sun's documentation and from RFC's (Request for comments from the internet): ------------------------------------------- Definition: A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent.
An endpoint is a combination of an IP address and a port number. Every TCP connection can be uniquely identified by its two endpoints. That way you can have multiple connections between your host and the server. -------------------------------------------- So don't get lost in technicalities that are meaningless to the situation. I mean sure, there can be other connections besides sockets (subset of), but dude, getting lost in these technicalities to try and show superiority does nothing to help figure out the situation. Now I am sure you know more about the architecture of Tomcat then I do(maybe not, but will give you the benefit of the doubt), I am not disputing that. I am a masters student in computer science with a bachelors in math and computer engineering and I feel very insulted by the last two posts. I mean, the way they were structured (especially the last one) have bothered me. My problem is not the logists of the science, but the Tomcat application itself. As far as the other replies then you say there is a problem since my windows machine (windows 7 ultimate) isn't showing the other ports being listened on (bound). Since they are redirect connections, then I wouldn't be surprised if a socket (connection), only opens up when a page is redirecting so I don't believe that is the problem. (Maybe it is, but I doubt it) And then as far as Root and ROOT, then come on, you know what I am talking about. Were not talking about case sensitive environmental operating system features / registry files. I feel like the comment on this was more of an insult then to inform me. (if you don't know what I am talking about then maybe I need to talk to someone else) And then as far as the other guy that posted: >read all of the other posts and not just half of them? Yes, I did read the posts several times to see if I was missing something. They tell me nothing useful that I already did not know. Is everyone on your forums this stuck up. This is bullcrap! Once again I am not insulting you on your expertise of Tomcat, but I regret you cannot say the same for me. I feel like this forum is a waste of time for newbies in the realm of computer science / networking to try and show superiority over others because they know more on a specific applicaiton. The people here are not willing to get in and help if it includes more than the easy icing. What I am going to do next is either try another forum, reinstall my tomcat and eclipse, or go meet with some professionals that know tomcat. (my buddies up at the University). If there is anyone that is willing to help me then let me know, otherwise good day to everyone and good luck. Good luck and good day to you. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Socket-Error-in-tomcat%2C-white-screen-in-browser-tp27567722p27576522.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
