Enabling APR connector on JBoss 5.0.0 GA

[joshua883]

Hi all,
I'd like to enable the APR Connector on my JBoss 5.0.0 GA.
From the tomcat 6 guide I've replaced the HTTP Connector with

<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol" port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
 connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

then downloaded tomcat native dll and added to Windows path.
However when I startup JBoss I have the following exception :

21:58:56,432 ERROR [StandardService] Service initializing at jboss.web failed
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.apache.tomcat.jni.Pool.create(J)J
 at org.apache.tomcat.jni.Pool.create(Native Method)

 at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.j
ava:683)
 at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.init(StandardService.java:69

Is jBoss 5 able to use tomcat APR connector ?
thanks a lot
john

To use APR, all you need to do is download JBoss Native and unpack it into your JBOSS_HOME. No other configuration is necessary.

See this discussion: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=147583

Hello,
thank you very much for your response.
Extracting JBossWeb produces some executables- however launching jbossweb.exe causes a core dump......

I've tried also launching the run.bat and changing the protocol in server.xml

<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol" port="8080" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
 connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />

but the result is again an Unsatisfied Linkage error.....
from the discussion you have pointed out, it seems that at the moment the win-32 porting for apr is broken...... :-(

thanks
john

If you downloaded JBoss Web you downloaded the wrong package. You need JBoss Native. And yes if you are running 32-bit Windows you are stuck because APR does not work on that platform.
