[wildfly-dev] Apache Portable Runtime (APR) in Wildfly

[Jason Greene]

Right, even with SSL, the socket is managed using NIO. The difference is just that undertow utilizes the SSLEngine API, to provide the TLS crypto functionality. By default the SSLEngine impl utilized is the one provided by the JDK, but Undertow does allow for any alternative SSLEngine provider to be used instead. An example of one is the wildfly-openssl project which provides a generic SSLEngine implementation that delegates to your platform’s (or your custom) openssl library. 

This allows us to have a minimal native dependency chain, as well as consistent configuration values.

I've found some old discussions about configuring APR in JBoss Web/JBoss EAP that go a few years back, but nothing as far as Wildfly/APR  support goes. A reference to a section in the documentation explicitly stating that such and such technology is not supported is really what I am after.
