What is the function of the Connector in Tomcat?

The Connector in Tomcat is a component used to handle communication between the client and the server. It is responsible for listening to client requests, forwarding them to the appropriate handler, and returning the handler’s response to the client. Connectors can handle different types of requests based on different protocols (such as HTTP, AJP, etc.), and can also be configured with different ports and thread pools to handle concurrent requests. By configuring the Connector, communication and interaction between the Tomcat server and external clients can be achieved.
