The confusion is about the default default defaults. I believe that (a) documentation update is in order and (b) an implementation change might be in order as well. There is no reason why a <Connector> with e.g. minSpareThreads should not create an <Executor> that behaves as if it had been configured with separate <Connector>/<Executor>s. > To provide a wider context : most of the experts who are answering > questions on this tomcat user's list are tomcat code committers, > for whom java in general, and the tomcat code in particular, hold > no mysteries.

He replaced the old cert with the one one and restarted the service. TLS wouldn't come up. Anyone with experience would know that the key and cert need to match, but he didn't understand that: he was just following the "SSL guide" from his CA -- which was awful, by the way. I kind of scoffed at markt's suggestion that we have a "Configuring TLS with Apache Tomcat" workshop, but I think that 90% of the attendees to an ApacheCon could use a tutorial on what TLS is, what a certificate is, and why there are so many moving parts. > In any case, if you want to convince your boss to send you there, > there has to be a presentation title which your boss can understand > and relate to.

I think I still owe you a few beers. . - -chris > On 16.01.2017 15:10, Berneburg, Cris J. - US wrote: >> Mark >> >>> "What topic(s) need to be covered in a Tomcat conference to >>> make it as easy as possible to get your employer to pay for you >>> to attend?" >> >> OK, you asked for it. :-) >> >> - The best and worst moments in Tomcat history.
