My expectation is that there's no binary for /all/ platforms - in fact, the download page on https://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi specifically lists binary downloads "for selected versions" and only provides Windows. I'm typically using the binary from the Linux distribution that I'm using - but that naturally doesn't include the other platforms that you name as examples: > Therefore, I request you to provide the binaries for different non windows > platform say, OEL, Solaris, HP and AIX. As the list of possible platforms (and their versions) is open ended (I read the "say" in your request as "for example"): Note that you get the source code, with all permissions of the Apache License, which is far more than you get from any commercial vendor. Asking you to do a little bit for yourself (especially when the release team might not even have the platforms available, or resources to test on them) is not too much IMHO. The simple statement "We cannot compile and build it" offloads your responsibility (you have decided for mod_jk on your own) to a project that you do not indicate to have any involvement with other than using its products for free.
In order to make that request, I recommend to pay some commercial vendor in order to get these services from them (and there are great ones, even supporting this project). Alternatively you might negotiate a donation (probably quite sizeable) to the Apache foundation or the project committers and supporters in order to build the infrastructure to build, test and distribute more than the volunteered "selected platforms". I'm sure that you can find a commercial vendor, I'm not sure that/if its possible to negotiate the donation suggestion - others on this list will have more insight on this. The quickest result, however, will be: Just compile it. You'll need to test it anyways, even when you download binaries - or do you distribute your software claiming support for platforms that you've never tested?
