> From the tomcat documentation I read this useSendFile is default > to true and it is defined under nio. This is correct; NIO does support sendfile, as does APR. > As I mentioned before, I am defining the static context > under Engine->Host->Context: Which is not recommended, since you're modifying server.xml for a specific webapp. Better to place the <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/bundles.xml, with just a docBase attribute. I'd recommend using an absolute path for docBase, since a relative one is dependent on how you start Tomcat. > This does not correspond to a specific connector Requests received over a <Connector> with useSendfile set will be processed with sendfile, those received on a <Connector> without sendfile capability won't use it. If you use the NIO class for all of your HTTP or HTTPS <Connector> elements, you'll get sendfile by default. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
