Depends on the particular JRE being used on the particular platform. I would expect them to be blocking in most instances, but some esoteric systems use polling. You're getting down to a level that requires examination of not just Tomcat source code, but also JRE source and the platform's TCP/IP stack source - a bit beyond the normal scope of a support forum. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
