Nice ! All connectors have the async NIO2 style IO API available, NIO performs a lot better with it than I expected (and it's stable), APR otoh fared worse given all its missing features. This API is available to protocol handlers and internal upgrade handlers. Looking ahead, if the Servlet API adds (real) async IO of some sort (leaving behind IS/OS container managed buffered IO), then this would be a good backend for it. Rémy
