Aditi - All connectors support both IPv4 and IPv6, including BIO, NIO, and native/APR. However, how you configure the connector will affect which protocol is supported.
As far as I've been able to tell from empirical testing (see previous threads), if you leave off the address parameter, the java-based connectors (BIO & NIO) will set up listeners on both of the "any" addresses, i.e. 0.0.0.0:port for IPv4 and [::]:port for IPv6. Unless it's been fixed in a recent release, the APR will only set up to listen on the IPv6 address. You have to specifically give it the IPv4 "any" if you want IPv4 support. Since I only support IPv4 right now, I haven't re-tested the current version of APR. (pltr) So, as Daniel says, please resend your message with copies of the actual <connector> tags, minus any passwords and excess comments. If you are seeing any errors in your catalina.log file, those would be helpful as well.
