28 Sep 08 Tomcat connectors
In Red5, you have pretty much full access to manipulate the embedded Tomcat engine via Spring. With that being said I would like to give details on how to change the http connector between two available options; there are several other options, but I'll only be covering NIO and BIO. First a quick explanation of these two options:
- BIO - Blocking Input / Output, this has been around since the beginning of internet time. It uses one thread per socket connnection to handle requests.
- NIO - Non-blocking Input / Output, this has been available in the JDK since 1.4. It uses a single thread to handle many socket connections.
<property name="connector">
<bean class="org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector">
<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" />
<property name="port"><value>80</value></property>
<property name="redirectPort"><value>443</value></property>
<property name="enableLookups"><value>false</value></property>
</bean>
</property>
To use the NIO connector simply change the constructor arg as shown below:
<property name="connector">
<bean class="org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector">
<constructor-arg type="java.lang.String" value="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" />
<property name="port"><value>80</value></property>
<property name="redirectPort"><value>443</value></property>
<property name="enableLookups"><value>false</value></property>
</bean>
</property>

What kind of problems did you have? Did you try to disable epoll in the arguments to the Java VM?

No, but I’ve recently stumbled over at least two blog posts which mentioned the problem. I can only find one which is this one:

From 2007 which means its quite old but maybe worth a try…
