Class HttpConnection

    java.lang.Object
      org.mortbay.jetty.HttpConnection

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Connection

Direct Known Subclasses:
  Ajp13Connection

    public class HttpConnection

extends Object
implements Connection

A HttpConnection represents the connection of a HTTP client to the server and is created by an instance of a `Connector`. It's prime function is to associate `Request` and `Response` instances with a `EndPoint`.

A connection is also the prime mechanism used by jetty to recycle objects without pooling. The `Request`,`Response`, `HttpParser`, `HttpGenerator` and `HttpFields` instances are all recycled for the duraction of a connection. Where appropriate, allocated buffers are also kept associated with the connection via the parser and/or generator.
