Components are included in the Native Components Package
Native Components Manifest JBoss Native consists of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), OpenSSL and Tomcat Native (TC-native); Apache Portable Runtime (APR) provides superior scalability, performance, and improved integration with native server technologies. APR is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. It enables access to advanced IO functionality (for example: sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL), Operating System level functionality (for example: random number generation and system status), and native process handling (shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets). OpenSSL implements the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols and includes a basic cryptographic library. Tomcat Native (TC-Native) is a Java Native Interface (JNI) that provides much of Tomcat's core functionality in native code rather than Java. This allows for an overall increase in the speed of a server. mod_jk connects the Tomcat JSP container to the Apache webserver, providing load-balancing. mod_cluster is an httpd-based load balancer. In contrast to mod_jk, mod_cluster creates a feedback loop between the proxy server and the worker nodes, enabling intelligent load distribution and routing within a load-balancing cluster. It also features ISAPI is a connector for the Microsoft IIS web server.
