SSLImplementation
I have confirmed that SSLImplementation attribute works in Connector
of server.xml file (Refer to
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200609.mbox/%3C6244765.post@talk.nabble.com%3E).
But I just don't understand why SSLImplementation attribute is not
included in Tomcat 6.0 document -
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html. Mistake or
any reason?

No plans that I am aware of.
There is always a risk we break things by adding something JSSE
specific. If we do, feel free to raise a bug and it will get fixed.

The archives are once source of knowledge. There is also the wiki that
anyone can add entries to.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I think this makes sense.
What I worried is if there's any reason for this. For example, is not
supported,
will be deprecated, has potential problem, and etc.
Since this is a feature for advanced users, it is reasonable to not add it
to document. It may be a good entry in knowledge base, and it is already
there
if this group actually services as Tomcat knowledge base.

TC 6.0 only supports one type of SSLImplementation out-of-the-box (JSSE).
So anyone that wants to use this attribute has to already know enough about
Tomcat internals to write their own SSLImplementation. Including it in the
docs would just confuse 99.99% of users.
But, yes, the hook is there for anyone that wants to plug in their favorite
SSL library.
