Correct.

No.

You will have to figure something out.

Why did you need to create your own connector?

BIO is problematic because of many requirements for non-blocking
behavior. It's easy to emulate blocking behavior (e.g.
ServletRequest.getInputStream) based upon non-blocking building blocks
(e.g. NIO connector) but next to impossible to emulate non-blocking
behavior (websocket, comet, etc.) using blocking building blocks (BIO
connector).

Unfortunately, the reality is that a blocking I/O connector is no
longer feasible for Tomcat.

So... what does your custom connector do? Perhaps there's a better way
to achieve your goal, or perhaps Tomcat's connectors could be
re-factored to make it easier to customize something specific for you
without having to re-write the whole connector.
