|

|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Tomcat can use the <a href="https://apr.apache.org/">Apache Portable Runtime</a> to
|
||||
provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server
|
||||
technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at
|
||||
the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO
|
||||
functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL), OS level functionality (random number
|
||||
generation, system status, etc), and native process handling (shared memory, NT
|
||||
pipes and Unix sockets).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These features allows making Tomcat a general purpose webserver, will enable much better
|
||||
integration with other native web technologies, and overall make Java much more viable as
|
||||
a full fledged webserver platform rather than simply a backend focused technology.
|
||||

<section name="Installation">
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
APR support requires three main native components to be installed:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>APR library</li>
|
||||
<li>JNI wrappers for APR used by Tomcat (libtcnative)</li>
|
||||
<li>OpenSSL libraries</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<subsection name="Windows">
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Windows binaries are provided for tcnative-1, which is a statically compiled .dll which includes
|
||||
OpenSSL and APR. It can be downloaded from <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/download-native.cgi">here</a>
|
||||
as 32bit or AMD x86-64 binaries.
|
||||
In security conscious production environments, it is recommended to use separate shared dlls
|
||||
for OpenSSL, APR, and libtcnative-1, and update them as needed according to security bulletins.
|
||||
Windows OpenSSL binaries are linked from the <a href="https://www.openssl.org">Official OpenSSL
|
||||
website</a> (see related/binaries).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
</subsection>
|
||||
|
||||
<subsection name="Linux">
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Most Linux distributions will ship packages for APR and OpenSSL. The JNI wrapper (libtcnative) will
|
||||
then have to be compiled. It depends on APR, OpenSSL, and the Java headers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>APR 1.2+ development headers (libapr1-dev package)</li>
|
||||
<li>OpenSSL 1.0.2+ development headers (libssl-dev package)</li>
|
||||
<li>JNI headers from Java compatible JDK 1.4+</li>
|
||||
<li>GNU development environment (gcc, make)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The wrapper library sources are located in the Tomcat binary bundle, in the
|
||||
<code>bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz</code> archive.
|
||||
Once the build environment is installed and the source archive is extracted, the wrapper library
|
||||
can be compiled using (from the folder containing the configure script):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<source>./configure && make && make install</source>
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<section name="APR Components">
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once the libraries are properly installed and available to Java (if loading fails, the library path
|
||||
will be displayed), the Tomcat connectors will automatically use APR. Configuration of the connectors
|
||||
is similar to the regular connectors, but have a few extra attributes which are used to configure
|
||||
APR components. Note that the defaults should be well tuned for most use cases, and additional
|
||||
tweaking shouldn't be required.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When APR is enabled, the following features are also enabled in Tomcat:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Secure session ID generation by default on all platforms (platforms other than Linux required
|
||||
random number generation using a configured entropy)</li>
|
||||
<li>OS level statistics on memory usage and CPU usage by the Tomcat process are displayed by
|
||||
the status servlet</li>
|
||||
</ul>
