Allow to configure multiple JUnit test class patterns with the build
property test.name and document the property in
BUILDING.txt. (rjung)
Catalina
Protect initialization of ResourceLinkFactory when
running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko)
Correct a thread safety issue in the filtering of session attributes
based on the implementing class name of the value object. (markt)
Fix class loader decision on the delegation for class loading and
resource lookup and make it faster too. (rjung)
58768: Log a warning if a redirect fails because of an
invalid location. (markt)
58827: Remove remains of JSR-77 implementaion. (markt)
58946: Ensure that the request parameter map remains
immutable when processing via a RequestDispatcher. (markt)
58905: Ensure that Tomcat.silence() silences the
correct logger and respects the current setting. (markt)
Coyote
Correct a regression in the connector refactoring in 9.0.0.M2 that broke
TLS support for the APR/native connector. (remm)
Correct an NPE when listing the enabled ciphers (e.g. via the Manager
web application) for a TLS enabled APR/native connector. (markt)
New configuration option ajpFlush for the AJP connectors
to disable the sending of AJP flush packets. (rjung)
Handle the case in the NIO connector where the required TLS buffer sizes
increase after the connection has been initiated. (markt)
not released Tomcat 9.0.0.M2
Catalina
Refactor creation of MapperListener to ensure that the
Mapper used is the Mapper associated with the
Service for which the listener was created. (markt)
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)
Refactor Service.getContainer() to return an
Engine rather than a Container. (markt)
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)
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)
58629: Allow an embedded Tomcat instance to start when the
Service has no Engine configured. (markt)
Correctly notify the MapperListener associated with a Service if the
Engine for that Service is changed. (markt)
Make a web application's CredentialHandler available through a context
attribute. This allows a web application to use the same algorithm
for validating or generating new stored credentials from cleartext
ones. (schultz)
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)
Fixed potential NPE in HostConfig while deploying an
application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg)
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)
58657: Exceptions in a Servlet 3.1 ReadListener
or WriteListener do not need to be immediately fatal to the
connection. Allow an error response to be written. (markt)
Correct implementation of
validateClientProvidedNewSessionId so client provided
session IDs may be rejected if validation is enabled. (markt)
58701: Reset the instanceInitialized field in
StandardWrapper when unloading a Servlet so that a new
instance may be correctly initialized. (markt)
Add a new flag aprPreferred to the Apr listener. if set to
false, when using the connector defaults, it will use
NIO + OpenSSL if tomcat-native is available, rather than the APR
connector. (remm)
Add path parameter handling to
HttpServletRequest.getContextPath(). This is a follow-up to
the fix for 57215. (markt)
58692: Make StandardJarScanner more robust. Log
a warning if a class path entry cannot be scanned rather than triggering
the failure of the web application. Includes a test case written by
Derek Abdine. (markt)
58702: Ensure an access log entry is generated if the client
aborts the connection. (markt)
Fixed various issues reported by Findbugs. (violetagg)
58735: Add support for the X-XSS-Protection
header to the HttpHeaderSecurityFilter. Patch provided by
Jacopo Cappellato. (markt)
Add the StatusManagerServlet to the list of Servlets that
can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt)
Simplify code and fix messages in
org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager class.
(kkolinko)
58751: Correctly handle the case where an
AsyncListener dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous
timeout and the Servlet uses sendError() to trigger an
error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy
Wilkinson.(markt)
Ensure that the proper file encoding if specified will be used when
a readme file is served by DefaultServlet. (violetagg)
Fix declaration of localPort attribute of Connector MBean:
it is read-only. (kkolinko)
58766: Make skipping non-class files during annotation
scanning faster by checking the file name first. Improve debug logging.
(kkolinko)
58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when
processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string
that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko)
Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case
in HostConfig.deployWAR(). (kkolinko)
Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager
implementations that enables session attribute replication to be
filtered bases on attribute name to all session manager implementations.
Note that configuration attribute name has changed from
sessionAttributeFilter to
sessionAttributeNameFilter. Apply the filter on load as
well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web
application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt)
Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering
based on the implementation class of the value and optional
WARN level logging if an attribute is filtered. These
options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship
with Tomcat. When a SecurityManager is used filtering will
be enabled by default. (markt)
Remove distributable and maxInactiveInterval
from the Manager interface because the attributes are never
used. The equivalent attributes from the Context always
take precedence. (markt)
58867: Improve checking on Host start for WAR files that have
been modified while Tomcat has stopped and re-expand them if
unpackWARs is true. (markt)
58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an
infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt)
Coyote
58621: The certificate chain cannot be set using the main
certificate attribute, so restore the certificate chain property. (remm)
Allow a new SSL config type where a connector can use either JSSE or
OpenSSL. Both could be allowed, but it would likely create support
issues. This type is used by the OpenSSL implementation for NIOx. (remm)
Improve upgrade context classloader handling by using Context.bind and
unbind. (remm)
Improve OpenSSL keystore/truststore configuration by using the code
from the JSSE implementation. (remm, jfclere)
Fix a potential loop when a client drops the connection unexpectedly.
(markt)
OpenSSL renegotiation support for client certificate authentication.
(remm)
Fix NIO connector renegotiation. (remm)
58659: Fix a potential deadlock during HTTP/2 processing when
the connection window size is limited. (markt)
Jasper
57136#c25: Change default value of
quoteAttributeEL setting in Jasper to be true
for better compatibility with other implementations and older versions
of Tomcat. Add command line option -no-quoteAttributeEL in
JspC. (kkolinko)
Fix handling of missing messages in
org.apache.el.util.MessageFactory. (violetagg)
Cluster
Enable an explicit configuration of local member in the static cluster
membership. (kfujino)
Fix potential integer overflow in DeltaSession.
Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
In order to avoid that the heartbeat thread and the background thread to
run Channel.heartbeat simultaneously, if
heartbeatBackgroundEnabled of SimpleTcpCluster
set to true, ensure that the heartbeat thread does not
start. (kfujino)
WebSocket
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)
58624: Correct a potential deadlock if the WebSocket
connection is closed when a message write is in progress. (markt)
57489: Ensure onClose() is called when a
WebSocket connection is closed even if the sending of the close message
fails. Includes test cases by Barry Coughlan. (markt)
Web Applications
58631: Correct the continuation character use in the Windows
Service How-To page of the documentation web application. (markt)
Correct the SSL documentation for deprecated attributes to point to the
correct, new location for attributes related to individual certificates.
(markt)
Correct some typos in the JNDI resources How-To. (markt)
Don't create session unnecessarily in the Manager application. (markt)
Don't create session unnecessarily in the Host Manager application.
(markt)
58723: Clarify documentation and error messages for the text
interface of the manager to make clear that version must be used with
path when referencing contexts deployed using parallel deployment.
(markt)
Document test.threads option in BUILDING.txt. (kkolinko)
Tribes
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)
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)
Add support for the startup notification of local members in the static
cluster. (kfujino)
Ignore the unnecessary member remove operation from different domain.
(kfujino)
Add support for the shutdown notification of local members in the static
cluster. (kfujino)
jdbc-pool
Correct evaluation of system property
org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.onlyAttemptCurrentClassLoader.
It was basically ignored before. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)
Fix potential integer overflow in ConnectionPool and
PooledConnection. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)

Configure Tomcat to run with a default umask of 0027 which
may be overridden by setting UMASK in
setenv.sh. (markt)
Remove native code (Windows Service Wrapper, APR/native connector)
support for Windows Itanium. (markt)
Catalina
The default HTTP cookie parser has been changed to

Coyote
Remove support for the HTTP BIO and AJP BIO connectors. (markt)
Refactor HTTP upgrade and AJP implementations to reduce duplication.
(markt)
Add support for HPACK header encoding and decoding, contributed
by Stuart Douglas. (remm)
57108: Add support for Server Name Indication (SNI). There
has been significant changes to the SSL configuration in server.xml to
support this. (markt)
Add SSL engine for JSSE backed by OpenSSL. Includes ALPN support.
Based on code contributed by Numa de Montmollin and derived from code
developed by Twitter and Netty. (remm)
RFC 7230 states that clients should ignore reason phrases in HTTP/1.1
response messages. Since the reason phrase is optional, Tomcat no longer
sends it. As a result the system property
org.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER is no
longer used and has been removed. (markt)
The minimum required Tomcat Native version has been increased to 1.2.2.
The 1.2.x branch includes ALPN and SNI support which are required for
HTTP/2. (markt)
Add support for HTTP/2 including server push. (markt)
Tribes
Clarify the handling of Copy message and Copy nodes. (kfujino)
Other
Support the use of the threads attribute on Ant's
junit task. Note that using this with a value of greater than one will
disable Cobertura code coverage. (markt)
