Changelog:
Tomcat 7.0.67 (violetagg)
Catalina
add 56917: As per RFC7231 (HTTP/1.1), allow HTTP/1.1 and later redirects to use relative URIs. This is controlled by a new attribute useRelativeRedirects on the Context and defaults to true. (markt)
fix 58660: Correct a regression in 7.0.66 caused by the change that moved the redirection for context roots from the Mapper to the Default Servlet. (markt)
fix Fixed potential NPE in HostConfig while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
fix 58655: Fix an IllegalStateException when calling HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with the RemoteIpFilter. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the sendRedirect() implementation for the RemoteIpFilter much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)
WebSocket
fix 58658: Correct a regression in 7.0.66 that prevented Tomcat from starting on Java 6 unless the WebSocket JARs (that require Java 7) were removed. (markt)
Web Applications
add Add a description of the default value of heartbeatSleeptime attribute and optionCheck attribute in the cluster channel docs. (kfujino)
Tribes
fix Fix potential NPE in AbstractReplicatedMap.breakdown(). (kfujino)
Tomcat 7.0.66 (violetagg) not released
General
update 58596: Clarify the description in RUNNING.txt of how environment variables are used. (markt)
Catalina
fix 34319: Only load those keys in StoreBase.processExpire from JDBCStore, that are old enough, to be expired. Based on a patch by Tom Anderson. (fschumacher)
fix 56777: Allow file based configuration resources (user database, certificate revocation lists, keystores and trust stores) to be configured using URLs as well as files. Back-port provided by Huxing Zhang. (markt/violetagg)
add 57741: Enable the CGI servlet to use the standard error page mechanism. Note that if the CGI servlet's debug init parameter is set to 10 or higher then the standard error page mechanism will be bypassed and a debug response generated by the CGI servlet will be returned instead. (markt)
add 58486: Protect against two further possible memory leaks associated with XML parsing. (markt)
code 58497: Make AbstractHttp11Processor easy to extend. (markt)
fix 58508: Escape role names when generating associated MBeans in case the role name contains characters not permitted in an MBean name. (markt)
fix 58522: Fixed concurrency issue when iterating web application's resources. (violetagg)
fix 58534: Removed repeated conditional tests in o.a.tomcat.websocket.pojo.PojoMethodMapping and o.a.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint Patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
fix 58535: Use Collections.reverseOrder when a reverse ordering is needed. (violetagg)
fix 58537: Some of the inner classes in o.a.catalina.valves.ExtendedAccessLogValve are made static. Patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
fix 58540: Removed unused code from o.a.catalina.connector.Request. Patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
fix 58541, 58544: It is more efficient to call Integer.toString(int) instead of Integer.valueOf(int).toString() when only a string representation of a primitive is needed. Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
fix 58541, 58547: It is more efficient to call valueOf(...) instead of Number constructor. Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
fix 58545: In some use cases it is more efficient to use Map.entrySet() instead of Map.keySet() Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg)
add Add a new RestCsrfPreventionFilter that provides basic CSRF protection for REST APIs. (violetagg)
fix 58581: If a custom error page fails, fall back to the standard error page rather than throwing an NPE. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
fix 58582: Combined realm should perform background processing on its sub-realms. Based upon a patch provided by Aidan. (kkolinko)
fix Handle the unlikely case where different versions of a web application are deployed with different session settings. (markt)
add Add a new Context option, enabled by default, that enables an additional check that a client provided session ID is in use in at least one other web application before allowing it to be used as the ID for a new session in the current web application. (markt)
add Add support for DIGEST authentication to the JNDIRealm. Based on a patch by Alexis Hassler. (markt)
fix 58603: Ensure that HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() returns the correct value when using the RemoteIpFilter. (markt)
fix Ensure that in an embedded Tomcat the logging configuration is not lost during garbage collection. (violetagg)
add Move the functionality that provides redirects for context roots and directories where a trailing / is added from the Mapper to the DefaultServlet. This enables such requests to be processed by any configured Valves and Filters before the redirect is made. This behaviour is configurable via the mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled and mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled attributes of the Context which may be used to restore the previous behaviour. (markt)
fix 58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
Jasper
fix 57136#c25: Implement a setting that controls what quoting rule is used when parsing EL expressions in attributes on a JSP page (chapter JSP.1.6 of specification). The setting name is quoteAttributeEL and it is configured as initialisation parameter of JSP Servlet (per web application configuration is possible) and as a command line option for JspC. The default value was changed to true, which restores behaviour implemented in Tomcat 7.0.64. It means that attribute quoting is applied on top of EL quoting. This provides better compatibility with older versions of Tomcat and other implementations. (kkolinko)
Cluster
fix Optimize the session lock range in DeltaManager.requestCompleted. (kfujino)
fix Enable an explicit configuration of local member in the static cluster membership. (kfujino)
fix Fix potential integer overflow in DeltaSession. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
Tribes
code Distinguish the handling of the shutdown payload and member verification clearly. When handling shutdown payload, verification completion message is not required. (kfujino)
fix When starting the StaticMembershipInterceptor, StaticMembershipInterceptor checks the required Interceptors. If the required Interceptor does not exist, it issues warning logs. (kfujino)
fix Ensure that the static member is registered to the add suspect list even if the static member that is registered to the remove suspect list has disappeared. (kfujino)
fix Correct the warning log of when the member that is not registered in the membership is detected. (kfujino)
fix When using a static cluster, add the members that have been cached in the membership service to the map members list in order to ensure that the map member is a static member. (kfujino)
WebSocket
fix Use instance manager for server endpoint instances. (remm)
add 55006: The WebSocket client now honors the java.net.java.net.ProxySelector configuration (using the HTTP type) when establishing WebSocket connections to servers. Based on a patch by Niki Dokovski. (markt)
fix 58624: Correct a thread safety issue that meant that blocking message writes could block indefinitely if the WebSocket connection was closed while a message write was in progress. (markt)
Web applications
add Make it clear in the documentation for the CGI servlet that the debug page is not considered secure and should not be used in production. (markt)
fix The domain attribute of StaticMember is not required but optional. (kfujino)
fix 58631: Correct the continuation character use in the Windows Service How-To page of the documentation web application. (markt)
jdbc-pool
fix 58489: Correct QueryStatsComparator to hold up the general contract for Comparator. (fschumacher)
fix When creating a QueryStats object, ensure that maxQueries is checked. If maxQueries is a value less than or equal to 0, QueryStats are never created. (kfujino)
fix Fix potential integer overflow in ConnectionPool and PooledConnection. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
Tomcat 7.0.65 (violetagg) released 2015-10-19
Catalina
add 57681: Add a web application class loader implementation that supports the parallel loading of web application classes. Use of this feature requires a Java 7 or later JRE. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt)
fix 58187: Correct a regression in the fix for 57765 that meant that deployment of web applications deployed via the Manager application was delayed until the next execution of the automatic deployment background process. (markt)
fix 58284: Correctly implement session serialization so non-serializable attributes are skipped with a warning. Patch provided by Andrew Shore. (markt)
fix 58313: Fix concurrent access of encoders map when clearing encoders prior to switch to async. (markt)
fix 58320: Fix concurrent access of request attributes which is possible during asynchronous processing. (markt)
code In preparation for implementing enhancement 57681, replace the use of the StandardClassLoader with URLClassLoader. This removes the server class loader from JMX. (markt)
fix 58352: Always trigger a thread dump if Tomcat fails to stop gracefully from catalina.sh even if using -force. Patch provided by Alexandre Garnier. (markt)
fix 58416: Correctly detect when a forced stop fails to stop Tomcat because the Tomcat process is waiting on some system call or is uninterruptible. (markt)
fix 58436: Fix some rare data races in JULI's ClassLoaderLogManager during shutdown. (markt)
Coyote
fix Correct some edge cases in RequestUtil.normalize(). (markt)
fix 58275: The IBM JREs accept cipher suite names starting with TLS_ or SSL_ but when listing the supported cipher suites only the SSL_ version is reported. This can break Tomcat's check that at least one requested cipher suite is supported. Tomcat now includes a work-around so either form of the cipher suite name can be used when running on an IBM JRE. (markt)
fix 58357: For reasons not currently understood when the APR/native connector is used with OpenSSL reads can return an error code when there is no apparent error. This was work-around for HTTP upgrade connections by treating this as EAGAIN. The same fix has now been applied to the standard HTTP connector. (markt)
fix 57799: Remove useless sendfile check for NIO SSL. (remm)
Jasper
fix 57136: Correct a regression in the previous fix for this issue. \${ should only be an escape for ${ within an EL expression. Within a JSP page \$ should be an escape for $. The EL specification applies when parsing the expression delimited by ${ and }. Parsing of the delimiting ${ and } is the responsibility of the JSP specification. (markt)
fix 58296: Fix a memory leak in the JSP unloading feature that meant that using a value other than -1 for maxLoadedJsps triggered a memory leak once the limit was reached. (markt)
fix 58340: Improve error reporting for tag files packaged in JARs. (markt)
fix 58444: Ensure that JSPs work with any custom base class that meets the requirements defined in the JSP specification without requiring that base class to implement Tomcat specific code. (markt)
Cluster
fix Fix a default clusterListeners in SimpleTcpCluster. The optimal default value is different for each session manager. ClusterSessionListener is never used in BackupManager. (kfujino)
fix Correct log messages in case of using BackupManager. (kfujino)
WebSocket
fix 58342: Fix a copy and paste error that meant MessageHandler removal could fail for binary and pong MessageHandlers. Patch provided by DJ. (markt)
fix 58414: Correctly handle sending zero length messages when using per message deflate. (markt)
Web applications
fix Correct documentation for cluster-howto. (kfujino)
Extras
fix Ensure JULI adapters does not include the LogFactoryImpl class. Patch provided by Benjamin Gandon. (markt)
Tribes
add Add support for configurations of ChannelListener and MembershipListener in server.xml. (kfujino)
fix Correct log messages in case of using ReplicatedMap. (kfujino)
jdbc-pool
fix Make sure the pool has been properly configured when attributes that related to the pool size are changed via JMX. (kfujino)
