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

either a blocking Java based connector or an APR/native based connector.
|
|
If the <code>PATH</code> (Windows) or <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> (on
|
|
most unix systems) environment variables contain the Tomcat native
|
|
library, the APR/native connector will be used. If the native library
|
|
cannot be found, the blocking Java based connector will be used. Note
|
|
that the APR/native connector has different settings for HTTPS than the
|
|
Java connectors.<br>
|
|
To use an explicit protocol rather than rely on the auto-switching
|
|
mechanism described above, the following values may be used:<br>
|
|
<code>org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol</code> -
|
|
blocking Java connector<br>
|
|
<code>org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol</code> -
|
|
non blocking Java connector<br>
|
|
<code>org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol</code> -
|
|
the APR/native connector.<br>
|
|
Custom implementations may also be used.<br>

Take a look at our <a href="#Connector_Comparison">Connector
|

Comparison</a> chart. The configuration for both Java connectors is

identical, for http and https.<br>

<p>In addition to the standard key store types (JKS and PKCS12), most Java
|
|
runtimes support additional key store types such as Windows-ROOT,

Windows-My, DKS as well as hardware security modules. Generally, to use
|
|
these additional keystore types with a TLS Connector in Tomcat:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Set the certificateKeystoreType and/or truststoreType Connector
|
|
attribute (as appropriate) to the necessary type</li>
|
|
<li>If a configuration file is required, set the certificateKeystoreFile
|
|
and/or truststoreFile Connector attribute (as appropriate) to point to
|
|
the file</li>
|
|
<li>If no configuration file is required then you will almost certainly

need to explicitly set the certificateKeystoreFile and/or

truststoreFile Connector attribute (as appropriate) to the empty

|
string ("")</li>

<p>Variations in key store implementations, combined with the key store

manipulation Tomcat does in the background to allow interoperability between

slightly different configuration. Assistance is always available from the
