General

Update to Commons Daemon 1.0.4. (mturk)

Catalina

3839: Provide a mechanism to gracefully handle the case where users book-mark the form login page or otherwise misuse the FORM authentication process. Based on a suggestion by Mark Morris. (markt) 49180: Add option to disable log rotation in juli FileHandler. Patch provided by Pid (pidster at apache). (funkman) 49991: Ensure servlet request listeners are fired for the login and error pages during FORM authentication. (markt) 50107: When removing a Host via JMX, do not attempt to destroy the host's pipeline twice. Patch provided by Eiji Takahashi. (markt) 50138: Fix threading issues in org.apache.catalina.security.SecurityUtil. (markt) 50157: Ensure MapperListener is only added to a container object once. (markt) 50159: Add a new attribute for <Resource> elements, singleton, that controls whether or not a new object is created every time a JNDI lookup is performed to obtain the resource. The default value is true, which will return the same instance of the resource in every JNDI lookup. (markt) 50168: Separate the Lifecycle.DESTROY_EVENT into Lifecycle.BEFORE_DESTROY_EVENT and Lifecycle.AFTER_DESTROY_EVENT. Use the additional state to ensure that Context objects are only destroyed once. (markt) 50169: Ensure that when a Container is started that it doesn't try and register with the mapper unless its parent has already started. Patch provided by Eiji Takahashi. (markt) 50222: Modify memory leak prevention code so it pins the system class loader in memory rather than than the common class loader, which is better for embedded systems. Patch provided by Christopher Schultz. (markt) 50228: Improve recycling of BodyContentImpl. (kkolinko) Improve debug logging for MapperListener registration. (markt) Expose names of LifecycleListeners and ContainerListeners for StandardContext via JMX. (markt) Add a new option, resourceOnlyServlets, to Context elements that provides a mechanism for working around the issues caused by new requirements for welcome file mapping introduced in Servlet 3.0. By default, the existing Tomcat 6.0.x welcome file handling is used. (markt) Make Tomcat more tolerant of null when generating JMX names for Valves. (markt) Make AccessLogValve attribute enabled changeable via JMX. (pero) Correct infinite loop if ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) was called. (markt) 50232: Remove dependency between StoreBase and PersistentManager and associated code clean-up. Patch provided by Tiago Batista. (markt) 50252: Prevent ClassCastException when using a <ResourceLink>. Patch provided by Eiji Takahashi. (markt) Reduce synchronization in session managers to improve performance of 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 timed out. (markt) Make memory leak prevention code that clears ThreadLocal instances more robust against objects with toString() methods that throw exceptions. (markt)

Coyote

49860: Complete support for handling trailing headers in chunked HTTP requests. (markt) Impose a limit on the length of the trailing headers. The limit is configurable with a system property and is 8192 by default. (kkolinko) 50207: Ensure Comet timeout events are triggered. This bug was a regression triggered by the fix for 49884. (markt)

Jasper

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_WHITESPACE to false. 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 than Enum.toString() as required by the EL specification. (markt) Fix minor thread-safety and performance issues in the implementation of maxLoadedJsps.

Cluster

Add support for maxActiveSessions attribute to BackupManager. (kfujino) Improve sending an access message in DeltaManager. maxInactiveInterval of not Manager but the session is used. If maxInactiveInterval is negative, an access message is not sending. (kfujino) 50183: BIO sender was not scheduling tasks to the executor during normal operation. Patch provided by Ariel. (markt) 50184: Add an option to the RpcChannel to enable the Channel send options to be set for the reply message. Based on a patch by Ariel. (markt) Ensure that a new Context waiting for session data from other nodes in the cluster does not block the processing of clustering messages for other Contexts. (markt)

(markt) Restore the ability to edit the contents of /WEB-INF and /META-INF via 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 download location and that JAF is now included in Java SE 6.

(kkolinko) When installing with the Windows installer on 64-bit platforms, allow the user to select either a 32-bit JDK or a 64-bit JDK. If a 32-bit JDK is selected, the 32-bit service wrapper and the 32-bit native DLL will be installed. If a 64-bit JDK is selected, the 64-bit service wrapper and the 64-bit native DLL will be installed. (markt/kkolinko) Create Windows shortcuts for the Manager and Host Manager webapps. (kkolinko) Support /? command line option in the Windows Installer. (kkolinko) Display and allow to change roles for the Tomcat admin user in the Windows installer.
