process
This is used to process the requests from a provided transport and deliver a response to those requests. A transport can be a direct transport or a secure transport providing SSL.Typical usage of this method is to accept multiple transport objects, each representing a unique HTTP channel to the client, and process requests from those transports concurrently.
- Parameters:
transport
- the transport to process requests from- Throws:
IOException

stop
This method is used to stop theProcessor
such that it will accept no more pipelines. Stopping the processor ensures that all resources occupied will be released. This is required so that all threads are stopped and released.Typically this method is called once all connections to the server have been stopped. As a final act of shutting down the entire server all threads must be stopped, this allows collection of unused memory and the closing of file and socket resources.
