In theory, doing SSL encryption in native code should be faster than Java. However, I haven't done any performance tests (Peter Lin, where are you?), and it won't really matter much unless you're driving your CPUs flat out. The JVM byte code translators of today are significantly better than just a year ago, so the difference between Java and native code performance continues to diminish. With the 5.5.12 and above levels, you now have the option of using APR, including its SSL engine, for Tomcat connectors. This is the same SSL used by Apache httpd, so that should eliminate any performance distinction. Configuring SSL on APR appears to require some care, judging from the recent threads on the subject. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
