AbstractAjpProtocol (Apache Tomcat 10.1.48 API Documentation)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.coyote.ajp, class: AbstractAjpProtocol

# Class AbstractAjpProtocol<S>

java.lang.Object
org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol<S>
org.apache.coyote.ajp.AbstractAjpProtocol<S>

Type Parameters:
  `S` - The type of socket used by the implementation

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `MBeanRegistration, ProtocolHandler`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `AjpNio2Protocol, AjpNioProtocol`

public abstract class AbstractAjpProtocol<S> extends AbstractProtocol<S>
This the base implementation for the AJP protocol handlers. Implementations typically extend this base class rather than implement `ProtocolHandler`. All of the implementations that ship with Tomcat are implemented this way.

  - ### AbstractAjpProtocol

    public AbstractAjpProtocol(AbstractEndpoint<S,?> endpoint)

- ## Method Details

  - ### getProtocolName

    protected String getProtocolName()
    Description copied from class: `AbstractProtocol`
    Obtain the name of the protocol, (Http, Ajp, etc.). Used with JMX.
    Specified by:
      `getProtocolName` in class `AbstractProtocol<S>`
    Returns:
      the protocol name

  - ### getEndpoint

    protected AbstractEndpoint<S,?> getEndpoint()
    Overridden to make getter accessible to other classes in this package.
    Overrides:
      `getEndpoint` in class `AbstractProtocol<S>`

  - ### getNegotiatedProtocol

    protected UpgradeProtocol getNegotiatedProtocol(String name)
    Find a suitable handler for the protocol negotiated at the network layer. AJP does not support protocol negotiation so this always returns null.
    Specified by:
      `getNegotiatedProtocol` in class `AbstractProtocol<S>`
    Parameters:
      `name` - The name of the requested negotiated protocol.
    Returns:
      The instance where `UpgradeProtocol.getAlpnName()` matches the requested protocol

  - ### getUpgradeProtocol

    protected UpgradeProtocol getUpgradeProtocol(String name)
    Find a suitable handler for the protocol upgraded name specified. This is used for direct connection protocol selection. AJP does not support protocol upgrade so this always returns null.
    Specified by:
      `getUpgradeProtocol` in class `AbstractProtocol<S>`
    Parameters:
      `name` - The name of the requested negotiated protocol.
    Returns:
      The instance where `UpgradeProtocol.getAlpnName()` matches the requested protocol

  - ### getAjpFlush

    public boolean getAjpFlush()

  - ### setAjpFlush

    public void setAjpFlush(boolean ajpFlush)
    Configure whether to aend an AJP flush packet when flushing. A flush packet is a zero byte AJP13 SEND_BODY_CHUNK packet. mod_jk and mod_proxy_ajp interpret this as a request to flush data to the client. AJP always does flush at the end of the response, so if it is not important, that the packets get streamed up to the client, do not use extra flush packets. For compatibility and to stay on the safe side, flush packets are enabled by default.
    Parameters:
      `ajpFlush` - The new flush setting

  - ### getTomcatAuthentication

    public boolean getTomcatAuthentication()
    Should authentication be done in the native web server layer, or in the Servlet container ?
    Returns:
      `true` if authentication should be performed by Tomcat, otherwise `false`

  - ### setTomcatAuthentication

    public void setTomcatAuthentication(boolean tomcatAuthentication)

  - ### getTomcatAuthorization

    public boolean getTomcatAuthorization()
    Should authentication be done in the native web server layer and authorization in the Servlet container?
    Returns:
      `true` if authorization should be performed by Tomcat, otherwise `false`

  - ### setTomcatAuthorization

    public void setTomcatAuthorization(boolean tomcatAuthorization)

  - ### setSecret
