I'd say best practices for Java shops should be to move the SSL termination to a proxy in front of the app server. This doesn't work if you're doing mutual TLS to authenticate users in your Java stack of course, and I'm sure there's a bunch of other use cases where you can't, and it would of course be ideal if Java could keep up with security. But given the state of the Java world, just drop in an TLS termination proxy wherever possible (nginx works great) and forget about doing it in Java.
