5 | <p>The <strong>HTTP Connector</strong> element represents a |
---|
6 | <strong>Connector</strong> component that supports the HTTP/1.1 protocol. |
---|
7 | It enables Catalina to function as a stand-alone web server, in addition |
---|
8 | to its ability to execute servlets and JSP pages. A particular instance |
---|
9 | of this component listens for connections on a specific TCP port number |
---|
10 | on the server. One or more such <strong>Connectors</strong> can be |
---|
11 | configured as part of a single <a href="service.html">Service</a>, each |
---|
12 | forwarding to the associated <a href="engine.html">Engine</a> to perform |
---|
13 | request processing and create the response.</p> |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | <p>If you wish to configure the <strong>Connector</strong> that is used |
---|
16 | for connections to web servers using the AJP protocol (such as the |
---|
17 | <code>mod_jk 1.2.x</code> connector for Apache 1.3), see |
---|
18 | <a href="ajp.html">here</a> instead.</p> |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | <p>Each incoming request requires |
---|
21 | a thread for the duration of that request. If more simultaneous requests |
---|
22 | are received than can be handled by the currently available request |
---|
23 | processing threads, additional threads will be created up to the |
---|
24 | configured maximum (the value of the <code>maxThreads</code> attribute). |
---|
25 | If still more simultaneous requests are received, they are stacked up |
---|
26 | inside the server socket created by the <strong>Connector</strong>, up to |
---|
27 | the configured maximum (the value of the <code>acceptCount</code> |
---|
28 | attribute. Any further simultaneous requests will receive "connection |
---|
29 | refused" errors, until resources are available to process them.</p> |
