Possibility to select http connector

Possibility to select http connector

[jkutner]

@tbf2000 that seems like something we could do. How similar is the interface for each connector?

If you're interested in to prototyping it this is a good place to start.

The interface of the APR connector is no challenge. You can just set instatiate it using the apr-specific classname:

	String connectorClassName = tomcatNative ? "org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
			: "org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol";
	Connector httpConnector = new Connector(connectorClassName);

But before you do that, you have to add the AprLifecycleListener to the Tomcat instance:

	LifecycleListener[] lifecycleListeners = tomcat.getServer().findLifecycleListeners();
	AprLifecycleListener aprLifecycleListener = null;
	if (null != lifecycleListeners) {
		for (LifecycleListener lifecycleListener : lifecycleListeners) {
			if (lifecycleListener instanceof AprLifecycleListener) {
				aprLifecycleListener = (AprLifecycleListener) lifecycleListener;
			}
		}
	}
	if (null == aprLifecycleListener) {
		aprLifecycleListener = new AprLifecycleListener();
		tomcat.getServer().addLifecycleListener(aprLifecycleListener);
	}
	aprLifecycleListener.setUseAprConnector(true);
	aprLifecycleListener.setSSLEngine("off");
	aprLifecycleListener.setUseOpenSSL(false);

For "nio2", I do not know, but I do not expect any surprises.

Hello! Since this is an old issue and many things have changed since it was opened I will close it for now. Feel absolutely free to re-open it if it is still relevant so we can work on it! :)
