APR is an additional, non-Java Tomcat component that utilizes code from httpd for increased SSL performance. It uses OpenSSL, not Java, for the SSL negotiation and encryption, so there's no keystore file, and the <Connector> configuration is very different from that for the standard or NIO options. The drawback of APR is that you typically have to compile it from source for the specific platform you're running on (some binary downloads are available), so it's not something for the casual or first-time Tomcat administrator. The table at the bottom of this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html gives you a comparison of the three forms of connector; pick just one for your usage. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
