P.S. I strongly believe someone at Sun should take up the NIO vs. APR
challenge and ensure that NIO outperforms APR in Tomcat usage. In other
words, Sun should ensure that a pure Java networking stack is really
best in class in real world usage. [Hopefully someone at Sun reads this
and takes this to heart...]
Until they do, however, please use whatever works best.

The only valid question would be, what to use as a default one,
but that's a minor issue thought.
As Mladen says, anyone can create a connector.
Therefore, let the best connector win on its merits and let those in
the know pursue what they believe to be the best connector approach
based on their experience.
Yes, I was one of those who asked about NIO's prospects in Tomcat way
back when -- as it seemed worthwhile to me to fully examine a pure
Java solution. I was arguably offbase as I do not have the level of
experience in this area that Mladen, Remy, et al, have, but at any
rate there was a good deal of NIO investigation around that time and
the results were that NIO did not measure up.
Until someone figures out a way to make NIO measure up to APR and
produces numbers to show it, APR deserves to be the default.
I would actually guess that the "use NIO not APR" chant comes
primarily from those who then need APR on platforms for which they do
not have APR binaries and don't want to deal with building or finding
it -- yet want optimal performance.
