Hi all, I object to the deprecation of the tomcat-native/APR connector.
Most specifically, I am -1 on the following: https://marc.info/?l=tomcat-dev&m=160681846808019&w=2 Looking at past discussion on this, the justification has been: "It is inherently less stable. If we get the NIO code wrong, you might see a NullPointerException. If we get the APR code wrong you might see a JVM crash.” Both a NullPointerException and a crash result in the same outcome - a non working server. Tomcat-native has releases in the https://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/ going back 15 years to 2005, a claim of a lack of stability needs to be quantifiable. I also object to the removal of OpenSSL code, for the same reason. We are in the middle of a global pandemic. Our users do not have the resources to suddenly divert to reengineering what is to them a perfectly working system, to replace what exists with something else that just works differently.
