(markt) 55937: When deploying applications, treat a context path of /ROOT as equivalent to /. (markt) 55943: Improve the implementation of the class loader check that prevents web applications from trying to override J2SE implementation classes. As part of this fix, refactor the way a null parent class loader is handled which enables a number of null checks and object creation calls to be removed.

Patch by Juan Carlos Estibariz. (markt) 56025: When creating a WebSocket connection, always call ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator.getNegotiatedSubprotocol() and always create the EndPoint instance after calling ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator.modifyHandshake(). (markt) 56032: Ensure that the WebSocket connection is closed after an IO error or an interrupt while sending a WebSocket message. (markt) 56042: If a request in async mode has an error but has already been dispatched don't generate an error page in the ErrorReportValve so the dispatch target can handle it. (markt) Add missing javax.annotation.sql.* classes to annotations-api.jar. (markt) The type of logger attribute of Context MBean should be not org.apache.commons.logging.Log but org.apache.juli.logging.Log.

(markt) 56012: When using the extends attribute of the page directive do not import the super class if it is in an unnamed package as imports from unnamed packages are now explicitly illegal. (markt) 56029: A regression in the fix for 55198 meant that when EL containing a ternary expression was used in an attribute a compilation error would occur for some expressions. (markt) Correct several errors in jspxml Schema and DTD. (kkolinko) Change default value of the blockExternal attribute of JspC task. The default value is true. Add support for -no-blockExternal switch when JspC is run as a standalone application. (kkolinko)

Cluster

Simplify the code of o.a.c.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster.createManager(String). Remove unnecessary class cast. (kfujino)

WebSocket

Do not return an empty string for the Sec-WebSocket-Protocol HTTP header when no sub-protocol has been requested or no sub-protocol could be agreed as RFC6455 requires that no Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header is returned in this case. (markt)

Extras

55166, 56045: Copy the XML schemas used for validation that are packaged in jsp-api.jar to servlet-api.jar so that an embedded Tomcat instance can start without Jasper being available. This also enables validation to work without Jasper being available. (markt/kkolinko) 56039: Enable the JmxRemoteLifecycleListener to work over SSL. Patch by esengstrom. (markt)

Other

55743: Enable the stop script to work when the shutdown port is disabled and a PID file is defined. This is only available on platforms that use catalina.sh. (markt) 55986: When forcing Tomcat to stop via kill -9 $CATALINA_PID, the catalina.sh script could incorrectly report that Tomcat had not yet completely stopped when it had. Based on a patch by jess. (markt) Package correct license and notice files with embedded JARs. (markt) Remove svn keywords (such as $Id) from source files and documentation. (kkolinko) Fix CVE-2014-0050, a denial of service with a malicious, malformed Content-Type header and multipart request processing. Fixed by merging latest code (r1565163) from Commons FileUpload. (markt) 56115: Expose the httpusecaches property of Ant's get task as some users may need to change the default. Based on a suggestion by Anthony. (markt)

Catalina

Handle the case where a context.xml file is added to a web application deployed from a directory. Previously the file was ignored until Tomcat was restarted. Now (assuming automatic deployment is enabled) it will trigger a redeploy of the web application. (markt) Fix string comparison in HostConfig.setContextClass(). (kkolinko) Streamline handling of WebSocket messages when no handler is configured for the message currently being received. (markt) Handle the case where a WebSocket annotation configures a message size limit larger than the default permitted by Tomcat. (markt) 55855: This is a partial fix that bypasses the relatively expensive check for a WebSocket upgrade request if no WebSocket endpoints have been registered. (markt) 55905: Prevent a NPE when web.xml references a taglib file that does not exist. Provide better error message. (violetagg)

Coyote

When using the BIO connector with an internal executor, do not display a warning that the executor has not shutdown as the default configuration for BIO connectors is not to wait. This is because threads in keep-alive connections cannot be interrupted and therefore the warning was nearly always displayed. (markt)

Jasper

JspC uses servlet context initialization parameters to pass configuration so ensure that the servlet context used supports initialization parameters. (markt)

Cluster

In AbstractReplicatedMap#finalize, remove rpcChannel from channel Listener of group channel before sending MapMessage.MSG_STOP message. This prevents that the node that sent the MapMessage.MSG_STOP by normal shutdown is added to member map again by ping at heartbeat thread in the node that received the MapMessage.MSG_STOP. (kfujino) Add time stamp to GET_ALL_SESSIONS message. (kfujino)

Web applications

Fix the sample configuration of StaticMembershipInterceptor in order to prevent warning log. uniqueId must be 16 bytes. (kfujino)

Catalina

Correct a regression in the new XML local resolver that triggered false failures when XML validation was configured. (markt) Prevent a NPE when destroying HTTP upgrade handler for WebSocket connections. (violetagg)

Catalina

51294: Add support for unpacking WARs located outside of the Host's appBase in to the appBase. (markt) 55656: Configure the Digester to use the server class loader when parsing server.xml rather than the class loader that loaded StandardServer. Patch provided by Roberto Benedetti. (markt) 55664: Correctly handle JSR 356 WebSocket Encoder, Decoder and MessageHandler implementations that use a generic type such as Encoder.Text<List<String>>. Includes a test case by Niki Dokovski. (markt) Correctly handle WebSocket Encoders, Decoders and MessageHandlers that use arrays of generic types. (markt) 55681: Ensure that the WebSocket session is made available to MessageHandler method calls. (markt) Updated servlet spec version and documentation section-number reported when JAR files are rejected for containing a trigger class (e.g. javax.servlet.Servlet). (schultz) Modify the WebSocket handshake process so that the user properties Map exposed by the ServerEndpointConfig during the call to Configurator.modifyHandshake() is unique to the connection rather than shared by all connections associated with the Endpoint. This allows for easier configuration of per connection properties from within modifyHandshake(). (markt) 55684: Log a warning but continue if the memory leak detection code is unable to access all threads to check for possible memory leaks when a web application is stopped. (markt) Define the web-fragment.xml in tomcat7-websocket.jar as a Servlet 3.0 web fragment rather than as a Servlet 3.1 web fragment. (markt) 55715: Add a per web application executor to the WebSocket implementation and use it for calling SendHandler.onResult() when there is a chance that the current thread also initiated the write. (markt) Prevent file descriptors leak and ensure that files are closed when configuring the web application. (violetagg) Fixed the name of the provider-configuration file located in tomcat7-websocket.jar!/META-INF/services that exposes information for javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig$Configurator implementation. (violetagg) 55760: Remove the unnecessary setting of the javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly system property in the SpnegoAuthenticator as in addition to it being unnecessary, it causes problems with using SPNEGO with IBM JDKs. Patch provided by Arunav Sanyal. (markt) 55772: Ensure that the request and response are recycled after an error during asynchronous processing. Includes a test case based on code contributed by Todd West. (markt) 55778: Add an option to the JNDI Realm to control the QOP used for the connection to the LDAP server after authentication when using SPNEGO with delegated credentials. This value is used to set the javax.security.sasl.qop environment property for the LDAP connection. (markt) 55798: Log an error if the MemoryUserDatabase is unable to find the specified user database file. (markt) 55799: Correctly enforce the restriction in JSR356 that no more than one data message may be sent to a remote WebSocket endpoint at a time. (markt) When Catalina parses TLD files, always use a namespace aware parser to be consistent with how Jasper parses TLD files. The tldNamespaceAware attribute of the Context is now ignored. (markt) Deprecate the tldNamespaceAware Context attribute as TLDs are always parsed with a namespace aware parser. (markt) Correct a logic error that meant that unpackWARs was ignored and the WAR was always expanded if a WAR failed to deploy. (markt) Add support for defining copyXML on a per Context basis. (markt) Define the expected behaviour of the automatic deployment and align the implementation to that definition. (markt) When running under a security manager, change the default value of the Host's deployXML attribute to false. (markt) If a Host is configured with a value of false for deployXML, a web application has an embedded descriptor at META-INF/context.xml and no explicit descriptor has been defined for this application, do not allow the application to start. The reason for this is that the embedded descriptor may contain configuration necessary for secure operation such as a RemoteAddrValve. (markt) Prevent an NPE in the WebSocket ServerContainer when processing an HTTP session end event. (markt) 55801: Add the ability to set a custom SSLContext to use for client wss connections. Patch provided by Maciej Lypik. (markt) 55804: If the GSSCredential for the cached Principal expires when using SPNEGO authentication, force a re-authentication. (markt) 55811: If the main web.xml contains an empty absolute-ordering element and validation of web.xml is not enabled, skip parsing any web-fragment.xml files as the result is never used. (markt) 55839: Extend support for digest prefixes {MD5}, {SHA} and {SSHA} to all Realms rather than just the JNDIRealm. (markt) 55842: Ensure that if a larger than default response buffer is configured that the full buffer is used when a Servlet outputs via a Writer. (markt) 55851: Further fixes to enable SPNEGO authentication to work with IBM JDKs. Based on a patch by Arunav Sanyal. (markt) Add an option to the Context to control the blocking of XML external entities when parsing XML configuration files and enable this blocking by default when a security manager is used. The block is implemented via a custom resolver to enable the logging of any blocked entities. (markt)

Coyote

Implement a number of small refactorings to the APR/native handler for upgraded HTTP connections. (markt) Fix an issue with upgraded HTTP connections over HTTPS (e.g. secure WebSocket) when using the APR/native connector that resulted in the unexpected closure of the connection. (markt) Ensure that the application class loader is used when calling the ReadListener and WriteListener methods when using non-blocking IO. A side effect of not doing this was that JNDI was not available when processing WebSocket events. (markt) Make the time that the internal executor (if used) waits for request processing threads to terminate before continuing with the connector stop process configurable. (markt) 55749: Improve the error message when SSLEngine is disabled in the AprLifecycleListener and SSL is configured for an APR/native connector. (markt) If a request that includes an Expect: 100-continue header receives anything other than a 2xx response, close the connection This protects against misbehaving clients that may not sent the request body in that case and send the next request instead. (markt) Improve the parsing of trailing headers in HTTP requests. (markt)

Jasper

55735: Fix a regression caused by the fix to 55198. When processing JSP documents, attributes in XML elements that are template content should have their text xml-escaped, but output of EL expressions in them should not be escaped. (markt) 55807: The JSP compiler used a last modified time of -1 for TLDs in JARs expanded in to WEB-INF/classes (IDEs often do this expansion) when creating the dependency list for JSPs that used that TLD. This meant JSPs using that TLD were recompiled on every access. (markt)

Cluster

Add log message that initialization of AbstractReplicatedMap has been completed. (kfujino) The logger of AbstractReplicatedMap should be non-static in order to enable logging of each application. Side-effects of this change is to throw RuntimeException in MapMessage#getKey() and getValue() instead of Null return and error log. (kfujino) Simplify the code of DeltaManager#startInternal(). Reduce unnecessary nesting for acquisition of cluster instance. (kfujino) Remove unnecessary attributes of stateTransferCreateSendTime and receiverQueue from cluster manager template. These attributes should not be defined as a template. (kfujino) Fix MBean attribute definition of stateTransfered. The method name is not isStateTransfered() but getStateTransfered(). (kfujino) Correct stop failure log of cluster. Failure cause is not only Valve. (kfujino) Remove unnecessary sleep when sending session blocks on session sync phase. (kfujino) Expose stateTimestampDrop of org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager via JMX. (kfujino) When the ping timeouted, make sure that memberDisappeared method is not called by specifying the members that has already been removed. (kfujino) Add log message of session relocation when member disappeared. (kfujino) If ping message fails, prevent wrong timeout detection of normal member that is no failure members. (kfujino)

The contextClass attribute of HostConfig refers to the value of the contextClass attribute of Host. (kfujino) 55331: Dispatching to an asychronous servlet from AsyncListener.onTimeout() should not trigger an IllegalStateException. (markt) 55333: Correct a regression in the fix for 55071. (markt) When using a security manager, ensure that calls to the ServletContext that are routed via an AccessController.doPrivileged block do not result in a call to a different underlying method on the ServletContext. (markt) 55354: Ensure that the naming context environment parameters are restored after associating the Principle with the user name. Based on patch provided by Richard Begg. (violetagg) 55357: Ensure the web application class loader is set as a thread context class loader during session deserialization. (violetagg) 55404: Log warnings about using security roles in web.xml without defining them as warnings. (markt) 55439: Don't try a forced stop when stop -force is used if Tomcat has already been stopped. This avoids error messages when the PID file has been cleared. If a forced stop is required, improve handling of the case when the PID file can be read from or written to but not deleted. (markt) 55454: Avoid NPE when parsing an incorrect content type. (violetagg) Back-port the JSR-356 Java WebSocket 1.0 implementation from Tomcat 8. Note that use of this functionality requires Java 7. (markt) Deprecate the Tomcat proprietary WebSocket API in favour of the new JSR-356 implementation. (markt) 55494: Reduce severity of log message from warning to information for JNDI Realm connection issues where the JNDI Realm automatically re-tries the action that failed. Make clear in the log message that the action is being re-tried. (markt) Correct several incorrect formats of JdkLoggerFormatter. (kfujino) 55521: Ensure that calls to HttpSession.invalidate() do not return until the session has been invalidated. Also ensure that checks on the validity of a session return a result consistent with any previous call to HttpSession.invalidate(). (markt) 55524: Refactor to avoid a possible deadlock when handling an IOException during output when using Tomcat' proprietary (and deprecated) WebSocket API. (markt) The loaded attribute never exists in PersistentManager. isLoaded is defined as operation in mbeans-descriptors. (kfujino) Added logging of logging.properties location when system property org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager.debug=true is set. 55570: Correctly log exceptions for all error conditions in the SPNEGO authenticator. (markt)

Coyote

55228: Allow web applications to set a HTTP Date header. (markt) Expose the current connection count for each protocol handler via JMX. (markt) 55267: If an application configures a timeout for a Comet connection ensure it is only used for read and not write operations. This prevents a long timeout delaying the closing of the socket associated with a Comet connection after an error occurs. (markt) Ensure that java.lang.VirtualMachineErrors are not swallowed when using the HTTP or AJP NIO connectors. (markt) 55399: Use the response locale to select the language to use for the status message in the HTTP response. (markt) Refactor the connectors to support the new JSR-356 Java WebSocket 1.0 implementation. The most noticeable change is that the AJP APR/native and HTTP APR/native connectors no longer support multiple poller threads. Both connectors now use a single poller thread. (markt) Internally, content length is managed as a long. Fix a few places in the AJP connector where this was restricted to an int. (markt) 55453: Ensure that the AJP connector does not permit response bodies to be included for responses with status codes and/or request methods that are not permitted to have a response body. (markt) 55500: Don't ignore the value of an asynchronous context timeout when using the AJP NIO connector. (markt) Better adherence to RFC2616 for content-length headers. (markt) Add support for limiting the size of chunk extensions when using chunked encoding. (markt) Update the APR/native connector to version 1.1.28. Make this the minimum acceptable version as the correct behaviour of the JSR-356 WebSocket implementation when using the APR/native HTTP connector depends on a bug fix in the 1.1.28 release. (markt)

(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.

(kkolinko) 53071: This additional fix for this issue improves the formatting of Jasper errors (or any exceptions that use a multi-line message) with the ErrorReportValve. (markt) 53469: If a URL passed to javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse.encodeURL() cannot be made absolute, never encode it and return it unchanged. Previously, the fix for 53062 meant than an IllegalArgumentException was thrown. (markt) 53481: Added support for SSLHonorCipherOrder to allow the server to impose its cipher order on the client.

(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) 53047: If a JDBC Realm or DataSource Realm is configured for an all roles mode that only requires authorization (and no roles) and no role table or column is defined, don't populate the Principal's roles.

(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. (markt) Add denyStatus attribute to RequestFilterValve (RemoteAddrValve, RemoteHostValve valves) and RequestFilter (RemoteAddrFilter, RemoteHostFilter filters).

(kkolinko) Work around a known JVM bug that is fixed in 1.7.0_01 but still present in 1.6.0_29 and was triggering intermittent unit test failure for org.apache.catalina.tribes.group. TestGroupChannelMemberArrival.testMemberArrival. The bug affects any components that use NIO although it was more likely to be observed in the clustering module than the HTTP or AJP NIO connector. (markt) When Context manager does not exist, no context manager message is replied in order to avoid timeout (default 60sec) of GET_ALL_SESSIONS sync phase.

In TrapException interceptor: rethrow Error as is, without wrapping it in a RuntimeException. (kkolinko) In jdbc-pool: Unwrap InvocationTargetException if it is caught in ResultSetProxy, like we do it elsewhere.

Corrected missing comma in the value of jarsToSkip property in conf/catalina.properties file, 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.filters package 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 condition attribute of AccessLogValve into two, conditionIf and conditionUnless. 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) 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 reuse flag of final AJP END_RESPONSE packet to 0 if 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)

(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)

(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 prefix attribute. Earlier this happened only if it was specified with the directory attribute. (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)
