  | Catalina |  | 
    
      |  | 41718: Include a response body when sending a redirect.
        (markt) |  |  | 51640: Improve the memory leak prevention for leaks triggered
        by java.sql.DriverManager. (markt) |  |  | 51644: Fix annotation scanning for contexts with a
        multi-level context path such as /a/b. (markt) |  |  | Unregisters MBean of DataSource when web application stops. (kfujino) |  |  | 51650: Code clean-up. Patch provided by Felix Schumacher.
        (markt) |  |  | 51653: Move application level error page handling from the
        Host to the Context. This ensures that application error page handling
        is completed before the requestDestroyed event of any
        ServletRequestListener is fired. (markt) |  |  | 51654: Improve handling of invalid appBase settings for Host
        elements. (markt) |  |  | 51658: Fix possible NPE when logging a failed request. Based
        on a suggestion by Felix Schumacher. (markt) |  |  | 51688: JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener now protects against
        AWT thread creation. (schultz) |  |  | 51712: Ensure cache control headers are sent when appropriate
        even if the request is secure. Patch provided by Michael Zampani.
        (markt) |  |  | 51713: Improve message that is logged if there is an error
        in the value of protocolin aConnector.
        (kkolinko) |  |  | 51739: When using a landing page with FORM authentication
        ensure that the request has a valid HTTP method. (markt) |  | 
 | Coyote |  | 
    
      |  | 51641: Use correct key when removing processor instances from
        the connections map during clean-up. Patch provided by zhh. (mark) |  |  | More changes to align the code between the different HTTP connectors.
        (markt) |  |  | Ensure AjpMessage headers are correct for the direction of the message.
        (markt) |  |  | Code clean-up and re-factoring to reduce duplicate code in the AJP
        processor implementations. (markt) |  |  | Detect incomplete AJP messages and reject the associated request if one
        is found. (markt) |  |  | 51698: Fix CVE-2011-3190. Prevent AJP message injection.
        (markt) |  | 
 | Jasper |  | 
    
      |  | 41673: Use platform line-endings when reporting compilation
        errors. (markt) |  | 
 | Cluster |  | 
    
      |  | 51736: Make rpcTimeout configurable in BackupManager. 
        (kfujino) |  | 
 | Web applications |  | 
    
      |  | 51649: Update the documentation web application to include
        the ThreadLocal leak prevention listener. (markt) |  | 
 | Other |  | 
    
      |  | 51583 (r1157874, r1162102): Fix
        shutdown delay in jdbc-pool. (fhanik/kkolinko) |  |  | 51558: Don't force the use of StandardManager when using
        any of the Tomcat#addWebapp()methods. (markt) |  |  | 51704: Make use of File#mkdirs()more robust.
        (markt) |  | 
 | 
 | Tomcat 7.0.20 (markt) | released 2011-08-11 |  | 
  | Catalina |  | 
    
      |  | Corrected missing comma in the value of jarsToSkipproperty inconf/catalina.propertiesfile, which
        caused tomcat-jdbc.jar and commons-beanutils*.jar to be not
        ignored when scanning jars for tag libraries. (kkolinko) |  |  | 41709: Provide exception messages where no message is
        provided currently for IllegalStateExcpetions triggered by calling
        HttpServletResponse methods when the reponse is committed. (markt) |  |  | 51509: Fix potential concurrency issue in CSRF prevention
        filter that may lead to some requests failing that should not. (markt) |  |  | 51518: Correct error in web.xml parsing rules for the
        <others/> tag when using absolute ordering. (markt) |  |  | Move the SetCharacterEncoding filter from the examples web application
        to the org.apache.catalina.filterspackage so it is
        available for all web applications. (markt) |  |  | 51550: Internal errors in Tomcat components that process
        requests before they are passed to a web application, such as
        Authenticators, now return a 500 response rather than a 200 response.
        (markt) |  |  | 51555: Allow destroy() to be called on Lifecycle components
        that are in the initialized state. (markt) |  |  | Add x-threadname pattern format token to ExtendedAccessLogValve to log
        the current request thread name. Based on a patch from Felix Schumacher.
        (timw) |  |  | 51584: Ensure file paths are encoded/decoded when translated
        to/from URLs when working with resources from a Context so special
        characters don't cause issues. (markt) |  |  | 51586: Expand error handling to cover anything that is
        recoverable (or might be recoverable) when loading classes during
        HandlesTypes processing. (markt) |  |  | 51588: Make it easier to extend the AccessLogValve to add
        support for custom elements. (markt) |  |  | Ensure that calls to StandardWrapper methods() that may trigger creation
        of a Servlet instance always do so in way that correctly instantiates a
        Servlet instance. (markt) |  |  | In JDBCStore: Committing connection if autoCommit is false.
        Make sure committed connection is returned to the pool if datasource is 
        enabled. (kfujino) |  |  | Split conditionattribute of AccessLogValve into two,conditionIfandconditionUnless. Implement
        conditional logging that logs only if a request attribute is present.
        (kkolinko) |  |  | Allow to have several AccessLogValve instances in the same scope (e.g.
        in the same Context). (kkolinko) |  |  | 51610: If an unchecked exception occurs during a lifecycle
        transition (e.g. web application start) ensure that the component is
        put into the failed state. (markt) |  |  | 51614: Avoid calling store.load() and  session.expire()
        twice in PersistentManager when expiring sessions. (kfujino) |  |  | Prevent spurious log warnings on container stop if a child component has
        previously failed. (markt) |  |  | Add missing getter and setter for the alwaysUseSession attribute of the
        authenticators. (markt) |  | 
 | Coyote |  | 
    
      |  | 49595: Prevent JVM crash with the AJP APR connector when
        flushing a closed socket. (jfclere) |  |  | 50394: Return -1 instead of throwing an exception when
        encountering an EOF while processing an input stream with the HTTP APR
        connector. (jfclere) |  |  | Correctly handle a connectionTimeout value of -1 (no timeout) for the
        HTTP NIO and AJP NIO connectors. (markt) |  |  | 51503: Add additional validation that prevents a connector
        from starting if it does not have a port > 0. (markt) |  |  | 51557: Ignore HTTP headers that do not comply with RFC 2616
        and use header names that are not tokens. (markt) |  |  | Improve error handling for HTTP APR if an error occurs while using
        sendfile. (markt) |  |  | Ensure that when using sendfile, HTTP APR sockets are not added to
        multiple pollers. This may cause errors during shutdown. (markt) |  |  | Set reuseflag of final AJPEND_RESPONSEpacket to0if we plan to close the connection. (rjung) |  |  | Correctly indicate if socket is closing when calling recycle for the AJP
        NIO processor. Note since the flag is unused in this case there were no
        bugs triggered by the re-factoring error. (rjung) |  | 
 | Jasper |  | 
    
      |  | 51532: JSP files with dependencies in JARs were recompiled on
        every access leading to poor performance. (markt) |  |  | 51544: Correctly resolve bean methods in EL so accessible
        methods that are overridden by inaccessible methods do not cause an
        IllegalAccessException. (markt) |  | 
 | Web applications |  | 
    
      |  | 41498: Add the allRolesMode attribute to the Realm
        configuration page in the documentation web application. (markt) |  |  | 48997: Fixed some typos and correct cross-referencing to the
        HTTP Connector documentation with the SSL How-To page of the
        documentation web application. (markt) |  |  | 49122: Improvements and fixes for index page for ROOT web
        application. Based on a patch provided by pidster. (markt) |  |  | 51516: Correct documentation web application to show correct
        system property name for changing the name of the SSO session cookie.
        (markt) |  |  | Configure the Manager and Host Manager web applications with the Set
        Character Encoding Filter to make the default request character encoding
        UTF-8 to improve i18n support. Note that best results will be obtained
        if the connector is also configured with URIEncoding="UTF-8".(markt) |  |  | Update the documentation web application to be even more explicit about
        the implications of setting the path attribute on a Context element in
        server.xml. (markt) |  |  | 51561: Update the Realm page within the documentation web
        application to recommend the use of digest.[bat|sh] to generate digests
        rather than calling RealmBase directly. (markt) |  |  | 51567: Update the class loading page of the documentation
        web application to include information on the search order for the
        common class loader when separate values are used for $CATALINA_HOME and
        $CATALINA_BASE. (markt) |  |  | Improve class loading documentation and logging documentation.
        (kkolinko) |  |  | Add information to the security page of the the documentation web
        application for the ciphers attribute of the Connector element. (markt) |  | 
 | Other |  | 
    
      |  | 51503: Add additional validation to Windows installer that
        ensure that the shutdown port, HTTP port and AJP port are all specified
        during the install process. (markt) |  |  | 51531: Update sample Eclipse classpath file to reflect
        updated ECJ jar. Patch provided by Ian Brandt. (markt) |  |  | Convert Tomcat unit tests to JUnit 4. (kkolinko) |  |  | Update optional CheckStyle library to 5.4. (kkolinko) |  |  | Remove resolveHostsattribute from AccessLogValve
        configuration in the defaultserver.xml. It was documented
        in 7.0.19 that it has no effect. (kkolinko) |  |  | Simplify mapping for jspservlet in the defaultweb.xml. (kkolinko) |  |  | Correctly handle uninstall with the Windows installer if the service is
        installed with a name that contains a '-' character. (markt) |  |  | 51598: Prevent direct invocation of the Windows uninstaller
        without a service name from executing since the uninstall will not be
        complete. (markt) |  |  | Use Tomcat icon (cat) instead of Apache Commons Daemon (feather) one
        in the list of uninstallable programs on Windows. (kkolinko) |  |  | Update to Apache Commons Daemon 1.0.7. (markt) |  |  | 51621: Add additional required JARs to the deployer
        distribution. (markt) |  |  | Fix a small number of warnings reported by FindBugs. (markt) |  |  | Update to version 1.1.22 of the native component for the AJP APR/native
        and HTTP APR/native connectors. (markt) |  | 
 | 
 | Tomcat 7.0.19 (markt) | released 2011-07-19 |  | 
  | Catalina |  | 
    
      |  | Add option to activate access log for unit tests. (rjung) |  |  | Fix regression in year number formatting for AccessLogValve. (rjung) |  |  | 46252: Allow to specify character set to be used to write
        the access log in AccessLogValve. (kkolinko) |  |  | 51494: Prevent an NPE when a long running request completes
        if the associated web application was destroyed while the request was
        processing. (markt) |  |  | Allow choosing a locale for timestamp formatting in AccessLogValve.
        (rjung) |  |  | When generating access logs for errors, log at the Context/Host level if
        a Context or Host can be identified for the failed request. (markt) |  |  | Create a directory for access log or error log (in AccessLogValve and
        in JULI FileHandler) automatically when it is specified as a part of
        the file name, e.g. in the prefixattribute. Earlier this
        happened only if it was specified with thedirectoryattribute. (kkolinko) |  |  | Log a failure if access log file cannot be opened. (kkolinko) |  |  | Use en_US as locale for timestamps in ExtendedAccessLogValve.
        (rjung) |  |  | Use en_US as locale for creationdate in WebdavServlet. (rjung) |  | 
 | Coyote |  | 
    
      |  | 51477: Support all SSL protocol combinations in the
        APR/native connector. This only works when using the native library
        version 1.1.21 or later, which is not yet released. (rjung) |  |  | Various refactorings to reduce code duplication and unnecessary code in
        the connectors. (markt) |  |  | Correct regression introduced in 7.0.17 that triggered 400 entries in
        the AccessLog when using the AJP/BIO connector. (markt) |  |  | Fix regression producing invalid MBean names when using IPV6
        addresses for connectors. (rjung) |  |  | Add missing thread name in RequestProcessor when Servlet 3 Async
        is used. Fixes null thread name in access log and JMX MBean. (rjung) |  |  | Fix CVE-2011-2526. Protect against infinite loops (HTTP NIO) and crashes
        (HTTP APR) if sendfile is configured to send more data than is available
        in the file. (markt) |  |  | Prevent NPEs when a socket is closed in non-error conditions after
        sendfile processing when using the HTTP NIO connector. (markt) |  | 
 | Cluster |  | 
    
      |  | Remove unnecessary server.xml parsing code for old cluster
        implementation that does not ship as part of Tomcat 7. (markt) |  | 
 | Web applications |  | 
    
      |  | Add additional information to the documentation web application on the
        benefits and remaining risks when running under a security manager.
        (markt) |  |  | 51490: Correct broken HTML in JSP tag plugin examples and
        improve the <c:if> example to make failures more obvious. Based on
        suggestions by Charles. (markt) |  |  | Document ExtendedAccessLogValve. (rjung) |  |  | Correct default value of enableLookupsfor connectors
        and mention, thatresolveHostsfor the AccessLogValve
        is replaced byenableLookups. (rjung) |  | 
 | Other |  | 
    
      |  | Update to Commons Daemon 1.0.6. (markt) |  |  | Update to Eclipse JDT Compiler 3.7. (markt) |  |  | Include jdbc-pool into tomcat release. (fhanik) |  | 
 | 
 | Tomcat 7.0.18 (markt) | not released |  | 
  | Catalina |  | 
    
      |  | Correct regression introduced in 7.0.17 that triggered an NPE if a
        CrawlerSessionManagerValve was used without setting crawlerUserAgents.
        (markt) |  |  | 51466: Correct comment typos in HostManagerServlet. Patch
        provided by Felix Schumacher. (markt) |  |  | 51467: Invoke Thread.start() rather than Thread.run() so that
        listeners and filters are stopped in a separate thread rather than the
        current thread. Patch provided by Felix Schumacher. (markt) |  |  | 51473: Fix concatenation of values in SecurityConfig.setSecurityProperty(). (kkolinko) |  |  | Fix response.encodeURL() for the special case of an absolute URL
        with no path segment (http://name). (rjung) |  | 
 | Coyote |  | 
    
      |  | Correct regression caused by connector re-factoring that made AJP
        APR/native connector very unstable on Windows platforms. (markt) |  |  | Correct regression caused by connector re-factoring that meant that
        sendfile data was not reset between pipe-lined HTTP requests. (markt) |  | 
 | Tribes |  | 
    
      |  | Re-factor tests to align packages for tests with the classes under test.
        Start to convert non-JUnit tests to JUnit. Remove unnecessary code.
        (markt) |  |  | Add synchronization to receiver socket binding to prevent test failures
        on Linux. (markt) |  | 
 | Other |  | 
    
      |  | More code clean-up to remove unused code and reduce IDE warnings.
        (markt/kkolinko) |  |  | Further improvements to the Windows installer. (markt/kkolinko) |  | 
 | 
 | Tomcat 7.0.17 (markt) | not released |  | 
  | Catalina |  | 
    
      |  | 48956: Add regular expression support for SSI. (markt) |  |  | 49165: Allow any time stamp formats supported by
        SimpleDateFormat in AccessLogValve. Support logging begin and/or end of
        request. (rjung) |  |  | 50677: Allow system property variables to be used in the
        values of "common.loader" and other "*.loader" properties in the catalina.propertiesfile. (kkolinko) |  |  | 51376: When adding a Servlet via
        ServletContext#addServlet(String, Servlet), the Servlet was not
        initialized when the web application started and a load on startup value
        was set. (markt) |  |  | 51386: Correct code for processing @HandlesTypes annotations
        so only types of interest are reported to a ServletContainerInitializer.
        (markt) |  |  | Add the Tomcat extras, ant-junit and Java Help Jars to the list of JARs
        to skip when scanning for TLDs and web fragments. (rjung) |  |  | The fix for bug 51310 caused a regression that re-introduced
        bug 49957 and deleted the contents of the work directory
        when Tomcat was shutdown. This fix ensures that that work directory for
        an application is not deleted when Tomcat is shutdown. (markt) |  |  | Correct issues with JULI's OneLineFormatter including: correctly
        re-using formatted timestamps when possible; thread-safety issues in
        timestamp formatting; correcting the output of any milliseconds to
        include leading zeros and formatting any parameters present.
        (kkolinko/markt/rjung) |  |  | 51395: Fix memory leak triggered when an application that
        includes a SAXParserFactory is the first web application to be loaded.
        (markt) |  |  | 51396: Correctly handle jsp-file entries in web.xml when the
        JSP servlet has been configured via code when embedding Tomcat. (markt) |  |  | 51400: Avoid known bottleneck in JVM when converting between
        Strings and bytes by always providing a Charset rather than an encoding
        name. Based on a patch by Dave Engberg. (markt) |  |  | 51401: Correctly initialise shared WebRuleSet instance used
        by the digesters that parse web.xml and prevent incorrect warnings about
        multiple occurrences of elements that are only allowed to appear once in
        web.xml and web-fragment.xml. (kfujino) |  |  | 51403: Avoid NPE in JULI FileHandler if formatter is
        misconfigured. (kkolinko) |  |  | Previous improvements in JAR scanning performance introduced a start-up
        performance penalty for some use cases. This fix addresses those
        performance penalties while retaining the original improvements. (markt) |  |  | 51418: Provide more control over Context creation when
        embedding Tomcat. Based on a patch by Benson Margulies. (markt/kkolinko) |  |  | Remove redundant copy of catalina.properties from o.a.c.startup.
        Generate this copy for inclusion in bin and src jars during the
        ant "compile" task. (rjung) |  |  | Use system properties loaded from catalina.properties via the class
        path in unit tests. (rjung) |  |  | Improve JMX unit test. (rjung) |  |  | Fix IllegalStateException for JavaScript files when switching from
        Writer to OutputStream. The special handling of this case in the
        DefaultServlet was broken due to a MIME type change for JavaScript.
        (funkman) |  |  | Fix CVE-2011-2204. Prevent user passwords appearing in log files if a
        runtime exception (e.g. OOME) occurs while creating a new user for a
        MemoryUserDatabase via JMX. (markt) |  |  | Fix an issue with the CrawlerSessionManagerValve that meant sessions
        were not always correctly tracked. (markt) |  |  | 51436: Send 100 (Continue) response earlier to enable
        ServletRequestListener implementations to read the request body. Based
        on a patch by Simon Olofsson. (markt) |  |  | Ensure an access log entry is made if an error occurs during
        asynchronous request processing and the socket is immediately closed.
        (markt) |  |  | Ensure that if asyncDispatch() is called during an onTimeout event and
        the target Servlet does not call startAsync() or complete() that Tomcat
        calls complete() once the target Servlet exits. (markt) |  |  | Improve the handling for Servlets that implement the deprecated
        SingleThreadModel when embedding Tomcat. (markt) |  |  | 51445: Correctly initialise all instances of Servlets that
        implement SingleThreadModel. Based on a patch by Felix Schumacher.
        (markt) |  |  | 51453: Fix a regression in the preemptive authentication
        support (enhancement 12428) that could trigger authentication
        even if preemptive authentication was disabled. (markt) |  |  | Prevent possible NPE when serving Servlets that implement the
        SingleThreadModel interface. (markt) |  |  | In launcher for embedded Tomcat: do not change catalina.homesystem property if it had a value. (kkolinko) |  |  | When using Servlets that implement the SingleThreadModel interface, add
        the single instance created to the pool when it is determined that a
        pool of servlets is required rather than throwing it away. (markt) |  | 
 | Coyote |  | 
    
      |  | Fix unit test for bindOnInit which was failing for APR on some
        platforms. (rjung) |  |  | Remove superfluous quotes from thread names for connection pools.
        (rjung) |  |  | Fix crash observed during pausing the connector when using APR.
        Only add socket to poller if we are sure we don't close it later.
        (rjung) |  |  | Various refactorings to reduce code duplication and unnecessary code in
        the connectors. (markt) |  |  | Correct a regression introduced in Apache Tomcat 7.0.11 that broke
        certificate revocation list handling. (markt) |  | 
 | Jasper |  | 
    
      |  | Improve the message printed by TldLocationsCache and add configuration
        example to the logging.propertiesfile. (kkolinko) |  |  | 33453: Recompile JSPs if last modified time of the source or
        any of its dependencies changes either forwards or backwards. Note that
        this introduces an incompatible change to the code generated for JSPs.
        Tomcat will automatically re-compile any JSPs and tag files found in the
        work directory when upgrading from 7.0.16 or earlier to 7.0.17 or later.
        If you later downgrade from 7.0.17 or later to 7.0.16 or earlier, you
        must empty the work directory as part of the downgrade process. (markt) |  |  | 36362: Handle the case where tag file attributes (which can
        use any valid XML name) have a name which is not a Java identifier.
        (markt/kkolinko) |  |  | Broaden the exception handling in the EL Parser so that more failures to
        parse an expression include the failed expression in the exception
        message. Hopefully, this will help track down the cause of
        51088. (markt) |  | 
 | Cluster |  | 
    
      |  | 51306: Avoid NPE when handleSESSION_EXPIRED is processed 
        while handleSESSION_CREATED is being processed. (kfujino) |  |  | Notifications of changes in session ID to other nodes in the cluster
        should be controlled by notifySessionListenersOnReplication rather than
        notifyListenersOnReplication. (markt) |  |  | The change in session ID is notified to the container event listener on 
        the backup node in cluster. 
        This notification is controlled by 
        notifyContainerListenersOnReplication.(kfujino) |  | 
 | Web applications |  | 
    
      |  | Update Maven repository information in the documentation to reflect
        current usage. (markt) |  |  | 43538: Add host name and IP address to the HTML Manager

        StandardWrapper. (markt) |  |  | Provide additional configuration options for the RemoteIpValve and
        RemoteIpFilter to allow greater control over the values returned by
        ServletRequest#getServerPort() and ServletRequest#getLocalPort() when
        Tomcat is behind a reverse proxy. (markt) |  |  | Ensure session cookie paths end in /so that session
        cookies created for a context with a path of/foodo not
        get returned with requests mapped to a context with a path of/foobar. (markt) |  |

        to MIME type mappings for MPEG 4 files. Based on a patch by Cédrik Lime.
        (markt) |  |  | Add some additional common JARs that do not contain TLDs or web
        fragments to the list of JARs to skip when scanning for TLDs and web
        fragments. (markt) |  |  | While scanning JARs for TLDs and fragments, avoid using JarFile and use
        JarInputStream as in most circumstances where JARs are scanned, JarFile
        will create a temporary copy of the JAR rather than using the resource
        directly. This change significantly improves startup performance for
        applications with lots of JARs to be scanned. (markt) |  |  | Ensure response is committed when AsyncContext#complete()is called. (markt) |  |  | Add a container event that is fired when a session's ID is changed,
        e.g. on authentication. (markt) |  |  | 51099: Correctly implement non-default login configurations

        patch provided by David Calavera. (markt) |  |  | 51137: Add additional Microsoft Office MIME type mappings.
        (rjung) |  |  | Partial sync of MIME type mapping with mime.types from the Apache web
        server. About 600 MIME types added, some changed. (rjung) |  |  | Make access logging more robust when logging requests that generate 400
        responses since the request object is unlikely to be fully/correctly
        populated in that case. (markt) |  |

      |  | 50957: Fix regression in HTTP BIO connector that triggered
        errors when processing pipe-lined requests. (markt) |  |  | 50158: Ensure the asynchronous requests never timeout if the
        timeout is set to zero or less. Based on a patch provided by Chris.
        (markt) |  |  | 51073: Throw an exception and do not start the APR connector
        if it is configured for SSL and an invalid value is provided for
        SSLProtocol. (markt) |  |  | Align all the connector implementations with the documented default
        setting for processorCache of 200. This changes the default from -1
        (unlimited) for the AJP-BIO, AJP-APR and HTTP-APR connectors. Additional
        information was also added to the documentation on how to select an
        appropriate value. |  |  | Take account of time spent waiting for a processing thread when
        calculating connection and keep-alive timeouts for the HTTP BIO
        connector. (markt) |  |  | 51095: Don't trigger a NullPointerException when the SSL
        handshake fails with the HTTP-APR connector. Patch provided by Mike
        Glazer. (markt) |  |  | Improve handling in AJP connectors of the case where too large a AJP
        packet is received. (markt) |  |  | Restore the automatic disabling of HTTP keep-alive with the BIO
        connector once 75% of the processing threads are in use and make the
        threshold configurable. (markt) |  |  | Make pollerSize and maxConnections synonyms for the APR connectors since
        they perform the same function. (markt) |  |  | Use maxThreads rather than 10000 as the default maxConnections for the
        BIO connectors. (markt) |  | 
 | Jasper |  | 
    
      |  | 47371: Correctly coerce the empty string to zero when used as
        an operand in EL arithmetic. Patch provided by gbt. (markt) |  |  | Label JSP/tag file line and column numbers when reporting errors since
        it may not be immediately obvious what the numbers represent. (markt) |  |  | Correct a regression in the fix for 49916 that resulted in
        JSPs being compiled twice rather than just once. (markt) |  |  | Log JARs that are scanned for TLDs where no TLD is found so that users
        can easily identify JARs that can be added to the list of JARs to skip.
        (markt) |  |  | Use a single TLD location cache for a web application rather than one
        per JSP compilation to speed up JSP compilation. (markt) |  |  | 51124: Refactor BodyContentImpl to assist in determining the
        root cause of this bug. Based on a patch by Ramiro. (markt) |  | 
 | Cluster |  | 
    
      |  | 50950: Correct possible NotSerializableException for an
        authenticated session when running with a security manager. (markt) |  | 
 | Web applications |  | 
    
      |  | Configure Security Manager How-To to include a copy of the actual
        conf/catalina.policy file when the documentation is built, rather
        than maintaining a copy of its content. (kkolinko) |  |  | Fix broken stylesheet URL in XML based manager status output. (rjung) |  |  | 51156: Ensure session expiration option is available in
        Manager application was running web applications that were defined in
        server.xml. (markt) |  | 
 | Other |  | 
    
      |  | Clarify error messages in *.sh files to mention that if a script is
        not found it might be because execute permission is needed. (kkolinko) |  |  | Update commons pool to 1.5.6. (markt) |  |  | 51135: Fix auto-detection of JAVA_HOME for 64-bit Windows
        platforms that only have a 32-bit JVM installed. (markt) |  |  | 51154: Remove duplicate @deprecated tags in ServletContext

        ASF infrastructure team. (markt) |  |  | Remove unnecessary whitespace from MIME mapping entries in global
        web.xml file. (markt) |  |  | When using parallel deployment, correctly handle the scenario when the
        client sends multiple JSESSIONID cookies. (markt) |  |  | 12428: Add support (disabled by default) for preemptive
        authentication. This can be configured per context. Based on a patch

        attribute "swallowAbortedUploads". (markt) |  |  | Include the seed time when calculating the time taken to create
        SecureRandom instances for session ID generation, report excessive times
        (greater than 100ms) at INFO level and provide a value for the message
        key so a meaningful message appears in the logs. (markt) |  |  | Don't register Contexts that fail to start with the Mapper. (markt) |  |  | 48685: Add initial support for SPNEGO/Kerberos authentication
        also referred to as integrated Windows authentication. This includes
        user authentication, authorisation via the directory using the
        user's delegated credentials and exposing the user's delegated
        credentials via a request attribute so applications can make use of them
        to impersonate the current user when accessing third-party systems that
        use a compatible authentication mechanism. Based on a patch provided by
        Michael Osipov. (markt) |  |  | HTTP range requests cannot be reliably served when a Writer is in use so
        prevent the DefaultServlet from attempting to do so. (kkolinko) |  |  | Protect the DefaultServlet from Valves, Filters and Wrappers that write
        content to the response. Prevent partial responses to partial GET
        requests in this case since the range cannot be reliably determined.
        Also prevent the DefaultServlet from setting a content length header
        since this too cannot be reliably determined. (markt) |  |  | 50991: Fix regression in fix for 25060 that called
        close on a JNDI resource while it was still available to the
        application. (markt) |  |  | Provide a configuration option that lets the close method to be used for
        a JNDI Resource to be defined by the user. This change also disables
        using the close method unless one is explicitly defined for the
        resource and limits it to singleton resources. (markt) |  |  | Correctly track changes to context.xml files and trigger redeployment
        when copyXML is set to false. (markt) |  |  | 50997: Relax the requirement that directories must have a
        name ending in .jarto be treated as an expanded JAR file
        by the default JarScanner. Based on patch by Rodion Zhitomirsky. (markt) |  |  | Don't append the jvmRoute to a session ID if the jvmRoute is a zero
        length string. (markt) |  |  | Don't register non-singelton DataSource resources with JMX. (markt) |  |  | Provide additional configuration options for the DIGEST authenticator.

        convert client certificates. Based on a patch by pknopp. (markt) |  |  | 50903: When a connector is stopped, ensure that requests that
        are currently in a keep-alive state and waiting for client data are not
        processed. Requests where processing has started will continue to
        completion. (markt) |  |  | 50927: Improve error message when SSLCertificateFile is not

        to be performed by the authenticated user. (markt) |  |  | 21669: Add the ability to specify the roleBase for the JNDI
        Realm as relative to the users DN. Based on a patch by Art W. (markt) |  |  | 22405: Add a new Lifecycle listener, org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityListenerthat prevents
        Tomcat from starting insecurely. It requires that Tomcat is not started
        as root and that a umask at least as restrictive as 0007 is used. This
        new listener is not enabled by default.
        (markt) |  |  | 48863: Better logging when specifying an invalid directory

        the expected state transitions. (markt) |  |  | 50189: Once the application has finished writing to the
        response, prevent further reads from the request since this causes
        various problems in the connectors which do not expect this. (markt) |  |  | 50700: Ensure that the override attribute of context
        parameters is correctly followed. (markt) |  |  | 50721: Correctly handle URL decoding where the URL ends in

        packaged in JAR files in its output. (markt) |  |  | Web crawlers can trigger the creation of many thousands of sessions as
        they crawl a site which may result in significant memory consumption.
        The new Crawler Session Manager Valve ensures that crawlers are
        associated with a single session - just like normal users - regardless
        of whether or not they provide a session token with their requests.

      |  | 50780: Fix memory leak in APR implementation of AJP
        connector introduced by the refactoring for 49884. (markt) |  |  | If server configuration errors and/or faulty applications caused the
        ulimit for open files to be reached, the acceptor threads for all
        connectors could enter a tight loop. This loop consumed CPU and also
        logged an error message for every iteration of the loop which lead to
        large log files being generated. The acceptors have been enhanced to
        better handle this situation. (markt) |  |

        session creation. (markt) |  |  | If starting children automatically when adding them to a container (e.g.
        when adding a Context to a Host) don't lock the parent's set
        of children whilst the new child is being started since this can block
        other threads and cause issues such as lost cluster messages. (markt) |  |  | Implement support for parallel deployment. This allows multiple versions
        of the same web application to be deployed to the same context path at
        the same time. Users without a current session will be mapped to the
        latest version of the web application. Users with a current session will
        continue to use the version of the web application with which the
        session is associated until the session expires. (markt) |  |  | 50308: Allow asynchronous request processing to call AsyncContext.dispatch()once the asynchronous request has

      |  | 49297: Enforce the rules in the JSP specification for parsing
        the attributes of custom and standard actions that require that
        the attribute names are unique within an element and that there is
        whitespace before the attribute name. The whitespace test can be
        disabled by setting the system property org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_WHITESPACEtofalse. Attributes of the page directive have slightly
        different rules. The implementation of that part of the fix is based on
        a patch by genspring. (markt) |  |  | 50105: When processing composite EL expressions use Enum.name()rather thanEnum.toString()as

        result in large numbers of SEVERE log messages appearing in the logs as
        a result of normal operation. (markt) |  |  | 50293: Increase the size of internal ELResolver array from 2 
        to 8 since in typical usage there are at least 5 resolvers. Based on a

        WebDAV via the provision of a new configuration option,
        allowSpecialPaths. (markt) |  |  | Correct broken links for on-line JavaDocs. (markt) |  |  | 50230: Add new DistributedManager interface that is
        implemented by the Backup Manager to remove circular dependency between
        tomcat-catalina-ha and tomcat-catalina modules. Also allows third-party
        distributed Manager implementations to report full session information
        through the HTML Manager. (markt) |  |  | Improve Tomcat Logging documentation. (kkolinko) |  |  | 50303: Update JNDI how-to to reflect the new JavaMail
