Would it provide better performance for AJP connector processing?


Not at all.  The comparison you have been pointed to refers to HTTP connectors.
AJP is another (different) protocol, and has a different connector.




Thanks,

Is it always advisable to use APR if tomcat is the main 
web server?


No.

Does it provide better performance for core tomcat engine 
or do you need to write code to take advantage of it?


That's not really an or situation.  Depending on your circumstances, it
may or may not provide better performance (also dependent on what you happen
to mean by performance).  You never need to write code to take advantage
of it.


What are the pros and cons of using it? Are there cons?

Will it provide better performance for SSL connectors?  


Pretty much always.

 AJP is another (different) protocol, and has a different connector.

The AJP connector comes in two flavours. BIO and APR. Is there a
performance difference? Yes. What will it be in your environment? No
idea, you;'ll have to test it.

APR/Native: when to use it?

2010-12-02 Thread Aggarwal, Ajay
Couple of APR related questions:

 

1.   Is it always advisable to use APR if tomcat is the main web
server? Does it provide better performance for core tomcat engine or do
you need to write code to take advantage of it? What are the pros and
cons of using it? Are there cons?

2.   Will it provide better performance for SSL connectors?  

 

Thanks.

Thanks for your quick response, but I still don't know when should I use
APR. That comparison table doesn't help me much (perhaps my ignorance
here).
