Tomcat Connectors

Tomcat Connectors are software components that enable communication between a web server (like Apache) and the Tomcat application server. They handle the transfer of requests from clients, such as browsers, to Tomcat for processing, and then send responses back to users. Essentially, connectors act as bridges, ensuring smooth data flow and allowing web applications to run efficiently. Different connector types exist, optimized for various protocols and performance needs, but their main role is to facilitate reliable interaction between the web server and server-side applications.
