Tomcat NIO vs APR/native connector: when is native throughput worth the portability cost?
We run Tomcat on both Linux and Windows hosts and want to pick a single connector strategy for a high-traffic HTTP endpoint. The documentation describes NIO as the portable pure-Java default, while APR/native can use platform-native pollers and OpenSSL-style TLS integration but requires matching native libraries per OS and packaging.
