What does The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library was not found mean

Question

I am using Tomcat 7 in Eclipse on Windows  When starting Tomcat  I am getting the following info message      The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java library path   What does this mean and how can I provide the APR library

User · Accepted Answer

It means exactly what it says   The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java library path   The library referred to is bundled into an OS specific dll  tcnative-1 dll  loaded via JNI  It allows tomcat to use OS functionalities not provided in the Java Runtime  such as sendfile  epoll  OpenSSL  system status  etc    Tomcat will run just fine without it  but for some use cases  it will be faster with the native libraries   If you really want it  download the tcnative-1 dll  or libtcnative so for Linux  and put it in the bin folder  and add a system property to the launch configuration of the tomcat server in eclipse    -Djava library path c  dev tomcat bin

Installation the native library on Ubuntu server with   sudo apt-get install libtcnative-1   If that does not work tomcat-native needs to be installed   Install Oracle java7    sudo add-apt-repository ppa webupd8team java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default  Install tomcat apr    wget http   apache mirror anlx net  apr apr-1 5 0 tar gz tar zxvf apr-1 5 0 tar gz rm apr-1 5 0 tar gz cd apr-1 5 0  sudo   configure sudo make sudo make install export LD LIBRARY PATH   LD LIBRARY PATH  usr local apr lib   Install tomcat tomcat-native    wget http   mirrors ukfast co uk sites ftp apache org  tomcat tomcat-connectors native 1 1 29 source tomcat-native-1 1 29-src tar gz tar zxvf tomcat-native-1 1 29-src tar gz rm tomcat-native-1 1 29-src tar gz cd tomcat-native-1 1 29-src jni native JAVA HOME  usr lib jvm java-7-oracle sudo   configure --with-apr  usr local apr --with-java-home  JAVA HOME sudo make sudo make install

Had this problem as well  If you do have the libraries  but still have this error  it may be a configuration error  Your server xml may be missing the following line     lt Listener className  org apache catalina core AprLifecycleListener  SSLEngine  on    gt     Alternatively  it may be commented out   This  lt Listener gt   like other listeners is a child of the top-level  lt Server gt    Without the  lt Listener gt  line  there s no attempt to load the APR library  so LD LIBRARY PATH and -Djava library path  settings are ignored

On Mac OS X     brew install tomcat-native    gt  tomcat-native In order for tomcat s APR lifecycle listener to find this library  you ll need to add it to java library path  This can be done by adding this line to  CATALINA HOME bin setenv sh    CATALINA OPTS   CATALINA OPTS -Djava library path  usr local opt tomcat-native lib   If  CATALINA HOME bin setenv sh doesn t exist  create it and make it executable    Then add it to the eclipse s tomcat arguments  double-click Server   Open Launch Configuration   Arguments tab   VM arguments   -Djava library path  usr local opt tomcat-native lib

On RHEL Linux just issue   yum install tomcat-native x86 64    Note depending on Your architecture 64bit or 32bit package may have different extension   That is all  After that You will find in the log file next informational message   INFO  APR capabilities  IPv6  true   sendfile  true   accept filters  false   random  true     All operations will be noticeably faster than before
