Hi again=2C

Since I did not receive any reply I thought to send another email with the =
additional re-search I did. Basically from the diagram on slide five (5) of=
 the presentation 'Java=99 EE Connectors Demystified' by Binod P.G=2C Georg=
e Tharakan=2C Sivakumar Thyagarajan it is clear that a custom connector sho=
uld be able to invoke a deployed servlet.

Having said that I still cannot understand how this can be done. In the doc=
ument 'J2EE=99 Connector Architecture Specification' there is a whole chapt=
er on how to invoke an EJB (Chapter 13) however I cannot find anything abou=
t Servlet Invokation. I also downloaded the Servlet Specification document =
but cannot really map the two together (probabbly due to my little knowledg=
e about the subject). I have also checked how the Http Connector of Tomcat =
works and here I found out that the Tomcat when loaded the Http Connector w=
ill provide an Adapter in order to invoke Servlets however do not know if t=
his is also the case for a JEE Application Server=2C nor do I know if I hav=
e to set some extra configuration to have such an object available.

Thanks and Regards=2C

Hi=2C

I am not sure if this is the
right place to ask this question. My question is related to inbound
connectors. From what I can understand an application server will
start a Resource Adapter (RA). Then when a Message Driven Bean (MDB)
is deployed the related RA are informed. The RA would then create an
Endpoint Consumer. When a message is received from an EIS the
Endpoint Consumer will call a method from the MDB.=20

Now my
plan was to develop something similar to the http protocol. The
Enterprise Information System (EIS) makes a request=2C the request is
processed=2C and a response is returned in XML (or format understood by
the EIS). Because of this similarity I was wondering=3B Is it possible
that an inbound connector invokes a deployed servlet?=20

Thanks
and Regards=2C
Simon J.
