(rjung) 54584: Take account of the delegate attribute when building the web application class path to pass to the JSP compiler. (markt) Copy the updated and re-packaged UTF-8 decoder from Tomcat 8.0.x and use this improved decoder for WebSocket connections. Remove the WebSocket specific UTF-8 decoder. (markt) 54602: Recycle the byte to character converter used for URIs between requests to ensure an error in one request does not trigger a failure in the next request. (markt) Use the newly added improved UTF-8 decoder for decoding UTF-8 encoded URIs and UTF-8 encoded request bodies. Invalid UTF-8 URIs will not cause an error but will make use of the replacement character when an error is detected. This will allow web applications to handle the URI which will most likely result in a 404 response. The fall-back to decoding with ISO-8859-1 if UTF-8 decoding fails has been removed. Invalid UTF-8 sequences in a request body will trigger an IOException. The way the decoder is used has also been improved. The notable change is that invalid sequences at the end of the input now trigger an error rather than being silently swallowed. (markt) 54624: Ensure that the correct request body length is used when swallowing a request body after FORM authentication prior to restoring the original request preventing possible hanging when restoring POST requests submitted over AJP.

Based on a suggestion from adinamita. (markt) Prevent the SSO deregister when web application is stopped or reloaded. When StandardManager(pathname="") or DeltaManager stops normally, all sessions in the context are expired. In this case, because most sessions is not time-out, SSO deregister was triggered. (kfujino) Include the exception in the log message if the parsing of the context.xml file fails. (markt/kkolinko) 54497: Make memory leak detection code more robust so a failure in the leak detection code does not prevent the Context from stopping unless the error is fatal to the JVM. (markt) 54507: Do not start the background thread that is used for expiring sessions (amongst other things) until the web application is fully started. Stop the background thread as soon as the web application is stopped. (markt) Allow WebSocket Ping/Pong messages to be sent between fragments of a fragmented message.

(markt) Always make the resulting web.xml available even if metadata-complete is true. (markt) 53714: Provide separate system properties to control which JARs are excluded from which scans when using the JarScanner. This allows JARs to be excluded from all scans or only from TLD scanning and/or Servlet 3.0 pluggability scanning. (markt) Add several JDK libraries to the value of jarsToSkip property in the catalina.properties file. (markt, kkolinko) Fix typos etc. in the code that logs merged web.xml (as enabled by logEffectiveWebXml option on Context).

(markt) As per section 1.6.2 of the Servlet 3.0 specification and clarification from the Servlet Expert Group, the servlet specification version declared in web.xml no longer controls if Tomcat scans for annotations. Annotation scanning is now always performed - regardless of the version declared in web.xml - unless metadata complete is set to true. (markt) 53619: As per clarification from the Servlet Expert Group, JARs will always be scanned for ServletContainerInitializers regardless of the setting of metadata complete. However, if an absolute ordering is specified and a JAR is excluded from that ordering it will not be scanned for ServletContainerInitializers nor will it be scanned for matches to any HandleTypes annotations. (markt) 53465: Populate mapped-name property for resources defined in web.xml. Based on a patch by Violeta Georgieva. (markt) Make the request available when establishing a WebSocket connection.

Patch provided by Brian Burch. (markt) 53021: Correct WebSocket protocol version detection. (pero) Add new attributes of allow and deny to UserConfig. (kfujino) 53024: Fix context reloading so requests received during the reload are paused and processed when reloading completes rather than receiving 404 responses. (markt) Improve the handling of watched resources so that changes trigger a reload rather than a stop followed by a start which allows requests received to be paused and processed when reloading completes rather than receiving 404 responses. (markt) Remove potential bottleneck on creation of new WebSocket connections.

(markt) 53074: Switch to an infinite socket timeout by default for WebSocket connections. (markt) 53081: Do not always cache resources loaded by the web application class loader since they may be very large which in turn could trigger a memory leak. Calls to the web application class loader's getResourceAsStream() method will now access the resource directly rather than via the cache in most cases. (markt) 53090: Include superclasses when considering injection targets. Patch provided by Borislav Kapukaranov. (markt) 53161: Provide a better error message if a ClassFormatException occurs during annotation scanning and do not prevent the web application from starting in this case.

(markt) 53225: Fix an IllegalStateException due to the JAR file being closed when accessing static resources in a JAR file when urlCacheProtection="false" in the JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener. (markt) 53230: Changed ManagerBase to throw TooManyActiveSessionsException instead of IllegalStateException when the maximum number of sessions has been exceeded and a new session will not be created. (schultz) 53257: Ensure that resources, including JSP files, that have names that include characters with special meanings in URLs (such as ampersand, semicolon, plus, hash and percent) are correctly handled. This bug is partially a regression caused by the original fix for 51584 and partially an existing issue that had not previously been identified. This fix reverts the original fix for 51584, correctly fixes that issue and fixes the additional issues identified by the test cases that were also added as part of this fix. (markt/kkolinko) 53266: If a class specified in a @HandlesTypes annotation on a ServletContainerInitializer is missing log a more helpful message and do not prevent the web application from starting.

The base Lifecycle implementation has been improved to allow failed web applications to be started once the configuration issues have been resolved. Any changes to a context.xml file (global, per host or web application specific) will now result in a redeploy of the affected web application(s) that ensures that any changes are correctly applied rather than a reload which ignores changes in context.xml files. (markt/kkolinko) 52173: Improve Javadoc for delegate attribute of WebappClassLoader. Based on a patch by bmargulies.

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) 50929: When wrapping an exception, include the root cause. Patch provided by sebb. (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 .jar to 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) CVE-2011-1184: Provide additional configuration options for the DIGEST authenticator. (markt) Provide a workaround for Tomcat hanging during shutdown when running the unit tests. (markt)

Catalina

CVE-2011-1088: Completed fix. Don't ignore @ServletSecurity annotations. (markt) 25060: Close Apache Commons DBCP datasources when the associated JNDI naming context is stopped (e.g. for a non-global DataSource resource on web application reload) to close remaining database connections immediately rather than waiting for garbage collection. (markt) 26701: Provide a mechanism for users to register their own URLStreamHandlerFactory objects. (markt) 50855: Fix NPE on HttpServletRequest.logout() when debug logging is enabled. (markt) New context attribute "swallowAbortedUploads" allows to make request data swallowing configurable for requests that are too large. (rjung) 50854: Add additional permissions required by the Manager application when running under a security Manager and support a shared Manager installation when $CATALINA_HOME != CATALINA_BASE. (markt) 50893: Add additional information to the download README for the extras components. (markt) Calling stop() and then destroy() on a connector incorrectly triggered an exception. (markt)

Catalina

19444: Add an option to the JNDI realm to allow role searches 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.SecurityListener that 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 for a class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt/kkolinko) 48870: Refactor to remove use of parallel arrays. (markt) Enhance the RemoteIpFilter and RemoteIpValve so that the modified remote address, remote host, protocol and server port may be used in an access log if desired. (markt) Restore access to Environments, Resources and ResourceLinks via JMX which was lost in early 7.0.x re-factoring. (markt) Remove ServerLifecycleListener. This was already removed from server.xml and with the Lifecycle re-factoring is no longer required. (markt) Add additional checks to ensure that sub-classes of org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase correctly implement 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) 50793: When processing Servlet 3.0 async requests, ensure that the requestInitialized and requestDestroyed events are only fired once per request at the correct times. (markt) 50802: Ensure that ServletContext.getResourcePaths() includes static resources 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. (markt) Don't attempt to start NamingResources for Contexts multiple times. (markt) 50826: Avoid IllegalArgumentException if an embedded Tomcat instance that includes at least one Context is destroyed without ever being started.

Coyote

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)

Jasper

50720: Ensure that the use of non-ISO-8859-1 character sets for web.xml does not trigger an error when Jasper parses the web.xml file.
