Configuring the HTTP1.1 Connector

Configuring the HTTP/1.1 Connector

Listing 9-1 shows the default Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector configuration (from CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml).

Listing 9-1: The Default HTTP/1.1 Connector

 <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->  <Connector port="8080"             maxThreads="150"             minSpareThreads="25"             maxSpareThreads="75"             enableLookups="false"             redirectPort="8443"             acceptCount="100"             debug="0"             connectionTimeout="20000"             disableUploadTimeout="true" /> 

As with many components in Tomcat’s configuration, some of these attributes are common to all connectors and some are unique to the HTTP connector. Chapter 4 shows how to deal with all these attributes. However, in this case the attributes specify that this service should listen to port 8080 for HTTP requests, set thread-handling information, disallow DNS lookups, and assign a port to which SSL requests should be sent (8443), among other things.
