Install TomCat 5.5.17 with Apache Portable Runtime 1.2.7 on Linux
Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL),OS level functionality (random number generation, system status, etc), and native process handling
(shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets).View for details:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html
Install Apache Portable RunTime 1.2.7 and openssl-0.9.8b on the box (CentOS 4.2).
APR Source directory - /usr/local/src/apr-1.2.7
APR Target directory - /usr/local/apr
OPEN SSL Target directory - /usr/local/ssl
Account "tomcat" has the same .bash_profile as in [1].
Tomcat Server version 5.5.17 has been installed by "tomcat" as usual.

Compile $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc :-
cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
cd jsvc-src
autoconf
./configure
make
cp jsvc ..
cd ..
Proceed with compiling libraries for APR:-
$ cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-native-1.1.3/jni/native
$ sh buildconf --with-apr=/usr/local/src/apr-1.2.7
$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
$ make
$ cd .libs

Enable Open SSL on TomCat 5.5.17 :-
# su - tomcat
$ cd $CATALINA_HOME/conf/
$ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl genrsa -des3 -out tomcatkey.pem 2048
$ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -new -x509 -key tomcatkey.pem -out tomcatcert.pem -days 1095
