Subject: [VOTE] APR or NIO ? (was:Re: Any other functionality missing from
Tomcat 5.5.12 that relies on JSDK 5.0?)
I think we need to organize a community vote then, so that I do not waste
my time.
So here we go:
<ballot>
I think the IO design for connectors used by Tomcat should be:
[+0] NIO selectors, etc (this means 100% NIO)
[+0] APR (this means 50% NIO, where NIO is only used for all the objects
exposed at the higher level)
</ballot>
Of course, once everybody starts using Harmony as their JVM, these will be
the same thing ;-).
For AJP/1.3, we already have all three (APR/NIO/prefork) implementations.
From users@ it seems that there is virtually zero interest in NIO, and
little enough in APR.
While I'm interested enough to look at a NIO HTTP/1.1 implementation, I
can't really see that the problems (e.g. unpredictible upload size) are
solvable. Also, the cr*p implementation of NIO in Sun's Windows JVM will
likely make it unusable on Windows.
