Changelog

Add option to serve resources from subpath only with WebDAV Servlet like with DefaultServlet. (michaelo) Add special handling for the protocols attribute of SSLHostConfig in storeconfig. (remm) 69442: Fix case sensitive check on content-type when parsing request parameters. (remm) Refactor duplicate code for extracting media type and subtype from content-type into a single method. (markt) Compatibility of generated embedded code with components where constructors or property related methods throw a checked exception. (remm) The previous fix for inconsistent resource metadata during concurrent reads and writes was incomplete. (markt) 780: Fix content-range header length. Submitted by Chenjp. (remm) 69444: Ensure that the jakarta.servlet.error.message request attribute is set when an application defined error page is called. (markt) Avoid quotes for numeric values in the JSON generated by the status servlet. (remm) Add strong ETag support for the WebDAV and default servlet, which can be enabled by using the useStrongETags init parameter with a value set to true. The ETag generated will be a SHA-1 checksum of the resource content. (remm) Use client locale for directory listings. (remm) 69439: Improve the handling of multiple Cache-Control headers in the ExpiresFilter. Based on pull request 777 by Chenjp. (markt) 69447: Update the support for caching classes the web application class loader cannot find to take account of classes loaded from external repositories. Prior to this fix, these classes could be incorrectly marked as not found. (markt) 69466: Rework handling of HEAD requests. Headers explicitly set by users will not be removed and any header present in a HEAD request will also be present in the equivalent GET request. There may be some headers, as per RFC 9110, section 9.3.2, that are present in a GET request that are not present in the equivalent HEAD request. (markt) 69471: Log instances of CloseNowException caught by ApplicationDispatcher.invoke() at debug level rather than error level as they are very likely to have been caused by a client disconnection or similar I/O issue. (markt) Add a test case for the fix for 69442. Also refactor references to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Based on pull request 779 by Chenjp. (markt) 69476: Catch possible ISE when trying to report PUT failure in the DefaultServlet. (remm) Add support for RateLimit header fields for HTTP (draft) in the RateLimitFilter. Based on pull request 775 provided by Chenjp. (markt) 69478: Correct a regression introduced in 11.0.0-M19 that meant when calling setHttpOnly(boolean) or setSecure(boolean) for a cookie, the respective flags were set regardless of the value passed to the method. (markt) 787: Add regression tests for 69478. Pull request provided by Thomas Krisch. (markt) The default servlet now rejects HTTP range requests when two or more of the requested ranges overlap. Based on pull request 782 provided by Chenjp. (markt) Enhance Content-Range verification for partial PUT requests handled by the default servlet. Provided by Chenjp in pull request 778. (markt) Harmonize DataSourceStore lookup in the global resources to optionally avoid the comp/env prefix which is usually not used there. (remm) As required by RFC 9110, the HTTP Range header will now only be processed for GET requests. Based on pull request 790 provided by Chenjp. (markt) Deprecate the useAcceptRanges initialisation parameter for the default servlet. It will be removed in Tomcat 12 onwards where it will effectively be hard coded to true. (markt) Add DataSource based property storage for the WebdavServlet. (remm) Align encodedSolidusHandling with the Servlet specification. If the pass-through mode is used, any %25 sequences will now also be passed through to avoid errors and/or corruption when the application decodes the path. (markt) Further optimise EL evaluation of method parameters. Patch provided by Paolo B. (markt) Follow-up to the fix for 69381. Apply the optimisation for method lookup performance in expression language to an additional location. (markt) Documentation. Remove references to the ResourceParams element. Support for ResourceParams was removed in Tomcat 5.5.x. (markt) Documentation. 69477: Correct name of attribute for RemoteIPFilter. The attribute is internalProxies rather than allowedInternalProxies. Pull request 786 provided by Jorge Díaz. (markt) Examples. Fix broken links when Servlet Request Info example is called via a URL that includes a pathInfo component. (markt) Examples. Expand the obfuscation of session cookie values in the request header example to JSON responses. (markt) Examples. Add the ability to delete session attributes in the servlet session example.

(markt) Update Checkstyle to 10.20.2. (markt) Update BND to 7.1.0. (markt) Update to the Eclipse JDT compiler 4.34. (markt) Improvements to French translations. (remm) Improvements to Korean translations. (markt) Improvements to Chinese translations. (markt) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

Add support for the new Servlet API method HttpServletResponse.sendEarlyHints(). (markt) 55470: Add debug logging that reports the class path when a ClassNotFoundException occurs in the digester or the web application class loader. Based on a patch by Ralf Hauser. (markt) 69374: Properly separate between table header and body in DefaultServlet's listing. (michaelo) 69373: Make DefaultServlet's HTML listing file last modified rendering better (flexible). (michaelo) Improve HTML output of DefaultServlet. (michaelo) Refactor RateLimitFilter to use FilterBase as the base class. The primary advantage for doing this is less code to process init-param values. (markt) 69370: DefaultServlet's HTML listing uses incorrect labels. (michaelo) Avoid NPE in CrawlerSessionManagerValve for partially mapped requests. (remm) Add missing WebDAV Lock-Token header in the response when locking a folder. (remm) Invalid WebDAV lock requests should be rejected with 400. (remm) Fix regression in WebDAV when attempting to unlock a collection. (remm) Verify that destination is not locked for a WebDAV copy operation. (remm) Send 415 response to WebDAV MKCOL operations that include a request body since this is optional and unsupported. (remm) Enforce DAV: namespace on WebDAV XML elements. (remm) Do not allow a new WebDAV lock on a child resource if a parent collection is locked (RFC 4918 section 6.1). (remm) WebDAV DELETE should remove any existing lock on successfully deleted resources. (remm) Remove WebDAV lock null support in accordance with RFC 4918 section 7.3 and annex D. Instead a lock on a non existing resource will create an empty file locked with a regular lock. (remm) Rewrite implementation of WebDAV shared locks to comply with RFC 4918. (remm) Implement WebDAV If header using code from the Apache Jackrabbit project. (remm) Add PropertyStore interface in the WebDAV Servlet, to allow implementation of dead properties storage. The store used can be configured using the propertyStore init parameter of the WebDAV servlet by specifying the class name of the store. A simple non persistent implementation is used if no custom store is configured. (remm) Implement WebDAV PROPPATCH method using the newly added PropertyStore, and update PROPFIND to support it. (remm) Cache not found results when searching for web application class loader resources. This addresses performance problems caused by components such as java.sql.DriverManager which, in some circumstances, will search for the same class repeatedly. In a large web application this can cause performance problems. The size of the cache can be controlled via the new notFoundClassResourceCacheSize on the StandardContext. (markt) Stop after INITIALIZED state should be a noop since it is possible for subcomponents to be in FAILED after init. (remm) Fix incorrect web resource cache size calculations when there are concurrent PUT and DELETE requests for the same resource. (markt) Add debug logging for the web resource cache so the current size can be tracked as resources are added and removed. (markt) Replace legacy WebDAV opaquelocktoken: scheme for lock tokens with urn:uuid: as recommended by RFC 4918, and remove secret init parameter. (remm) Concurrent reads and writes (e.g. GET and PUT / DELETE) for the same path caused corruption of the FileResource where some of the fields were set as if the file exists and some were set as if it does not. This resulted in inconsistent metadata. (markt) 69415: Ensure that the ExpiresFilter only sets cache headers on GET and HEAD requests. Also skip requests where the application has set

Cache-Control:
        no-store

. (markt) 69419: Improve the performance of ServletRequest.getAttribute() when there are multiple levels of nested includes. Based on a patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt) 69426: Restore providing a value (rather than null) for Class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation() as a number of libraries and JRE features depend on this being non-null even when a SecurityManager is not is use. (markt) All applications to send an early hints informational response by calling HttpServletResponse.sendError() with a status code of 103. (schultz) Return null SSL session id on zero length byte array returned from the SSL implementation. (remm) Skip OpenSSLConf with BoringSSL since it is unsupported. (remm) Align buffer reuse of the OpenSSLEngine for tomcat-native with the FFM code. (remm) Create the HttpParser in Http11Processor if it is not present on the AbstractHttp11Protocol to provide better lifecycle robustness for regular HTTP/1.1. The new behavior was introduced on a previous refactoring to improve HTTP/2 performance. (remm) OpenSSLContext will now throw a KeyManagementException if something is known to have gone wrong in the init method, which is the behavior documented by javax.net.ssl.SSLContext.init. This makes error handling more consistent. (remm) 69399: Fix regression caused by the improvement 69333 which caused the tag release to be called when using tag pooling, and to be skipped when not using it. Patch submitted by Michal Sobkiewicz. (remm) 69381: Improve method lookup performance in expression language. When the required method has no arguments there is no need to consider casting or coercion and the method lookup process can be simplified. Based on pull request 770 by John Engebretson. (markt) 69382: Improve the performance of the JSP include action by re-using results of relatively expensive method calls in the generated code rather than repeating them. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt) 69398: Avoid unnecessary object allocation in PageContextImpl. Based on a suggestion by John Engebretson. (markt) 69406: When using StringInterpreterEnum, do not throw an IllegalArgumentException when an invalid Enum is encountered. Instead, resolve the value at runtime. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt) 69429: Optimise EL evaluation of method parameters for methods that do not accept any parameters. Patch provided by John Engebretson. (markt) Switch from DigiCert ONE to ssl.com eSigner for code signing. (markt) Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.10. (markt) Update CheckStyle to 10.20.0. (markt) Improvements to German translations. (remm) Improvements to French translations. (remm) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

Ensure that ServerAuthModule.initialize() is called when a Jakarta Authentication module is configured via registerServerAuthModule(). (markt) Ensure that the Jakarta Authentication CallbackHandler only creates one GenericPrincipal in the Subject. (markt) If the Jakarta Authentication process fails with an Exception, explicitly set the HTTP response status to 500 as the ServerAuthContext may not have set it. (markt) When persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration, create any necessary parent directories that don't already exist. (markt) Correct the logic used to detect errors when deleting temporary files associated with persisting the Jakarta Authentication provider configuration. (markt) When processing Jakarta Authentication callbacks, don't overwrite a Principal obtained from the PasswordValidationCallback with null if the CallerPrincipalCallback does not provide a Principal. (markt) Avoid store config backup loss when storing one configuration more than once per second. (remm) 69359: WebdavServlet duplicates getRelativePath() method from super class with incorrect Javadoc. (michaelo) 69360: Inconsistent DELETE behavior between WebdavServlet and DefaultServlet. (michaelo) Make WebdavServlet properly return the Allow header when deletion of a resource is not allowed. (michaelo) Add log warning if non wildcard mappings are used with the WebdavServlet. (remm) 69361: Ensure that the order of entires in a multi-status response to a WebDAV is consistent with the order in which resources were processed. (markt) 69362: Provide a better multi-status response when deleting a collection via WebDAV fails. Empty directories that cannot be deleted will now be included in the response. (markt) 69363: Use getPathPrefix() consistently in the WebDAV servlet to ensure that the correct path is used when the WebDAV servlet is mounted at a sub-path within the web application. (markt) 69316: Ensure that FastHttpDateFormat#getCurrentDate() (used to generate Date headers for HTTP responses) generates the correct string for the given input. Prior to this change, the output may have wrong by one second in some cases. Pull request 751 provided by Chenjp. (markt) Request start time may not have been accurately recorded for HTTP/1.1 requests preceded by a large number of blank lines. (markt) Add server and serverRemoveAppProvidedValues to the list of attributes the HTTP/2 protocol will inherit from the HTTP/1.1 connector it is nested within. (markt) Avoid possible crashes when using Apache Tomcat Native, caused by destroying SSLContext objects through GC after APR has been terminated. (remm) Improve HTTP/2 handling of trailer fields for requests. Trailer fields no longer need to be recieved before the headers of the subsequent stream nor are trailer fields for an in progress stream swallowed if the Connector is paused before the trailer fields are received. (markt) Ensure the request and response are not recycled too soon for an HTTP/2 stream when a stream level error is detected during the processing of incoming HTTP/2 frames. This could lead to incorrect processing times appearing in the access log. (markt) 69333: Remove unnecessary code from generated JSPs. (markt) 69338: Improve the performance of processing expressions that include AND or OR operations with more than two operands and expressions that use not empty.

(markt)

Implement the recent clarification from the Jakarta Servlet project that if a content length is declared then once that many bytes have been written to the response, further writes should trigger an IOException. (markt) Improve performance of ApplicationHttpRequest.parseParameters(). Based on sample code and test cases provided by John Engebretson. (markt) Correct a regression in the fix for non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies that caused InputStream.available() to return a non-zero value when there was no data to read. In some circumstances this could cause a blocking read to block waiting for more data rather than return the data it had already received. (markt) Add a new attribute cookiesWithoutEquals to the Rfc6265CookieProcessor. The default behaviour is unchanged. (markt) Ensure that Tomcat sends a TLS close_notify message after receiving one from the client when using the OpenSSLImplementation. (markt) 69301: Fix trailer headers replacing non-trailer headers when writing response headers to the access log. Based on a patch and test case provided by hypnoce. (markt) 69302: If an HTTP/2 client resets a stream before the request body is fully written, ensure that any ReadListener is notified via a call to ReadListener.onErrror(). (markt) Switch the TldScanner back to logging detailed scan results at debug level rather than trace level. (markt) Simplify the implementation of OptionalELResolver. (markt) If a blocking message write exceeds the timeout, don't attempt the write again before throwing the exception. (markt) An Exception being thrown during message processing (e.g. in a method annotated with @onMessage) should not automatically cause the connection to close. The application should handle the exception and make the decision whether or not to close the connection. (markt) Documentation. Align the logging configuration documentation with the current defaults. (markt) 69255: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant exceptions executing statements were wrapped in an java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException rather than the application seeing the original SQLException. Fixed by pull request 744 provided by Michael Clarke. (markt) 69279: Correct a regression in the fix for 69206 that meant that methods that previously returned a null ResultSet were returning a proxy with a null delegate. Fixed by pull request 745 provided by Huub de Beer. (markt) Exclude the tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar from JAR scanning by default. (markt) Change the default log handler level to ALL so log messages are not dropped by default if a logger is configured to use trace (FINEST) level logging. (markt) Update Hamcrest to 3.0. (markt) Update EasyMock to 5.4.0. (markt) Update Byte Buddy to 1.15.0. (markt) Update CheckStyle to 10.18.0. (markt) Update the internal fork of Apache Commons BCEL to 6.10.0. (markt) Improvements to Spanish translations by Fernando. (markt) Improvements to French translations. (remm) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

Add support for RFC 8297 (Early Hints). Applications can use this feature by casting the HttpServletResponse to org.apache.catalina.connector.Reponse and then calling the method void sendEarlyHints(). This method will be added to the Servlet API (removing the need for the cast) in Servlet 6.2 onwards. (markt) 69214: Do not reject a CORS request that uses POST but does not include a content-type header. Tomcat now correctly processes this as a simple CORS request. Based on a patch suggested by thebluemountain. (markt) Refactor SpnegoAuthenticator so it uses Subject.callAs() rather than Subject.doAs() when the available. (markt) Add FFM compatibility methods for LibreSSL support. Renegotiation is not supported at the moment. (remm) Add org.apache.tomcat.util.openssl.LIBRARY_NAME (specifies the name of the library to load) and org.apache.tomcat.util.openssl.USE_SYSTEM_LOAD_LIBRARY (set to true to use System.loadLibrary rather than the FFM library loading code) to configure the OpenSSL library loading using FFM. (remm) Add FFM compatibility methods for BoringSSL support. Renegotiation is not supported in many cases. (remm) Ensure that HTTP/2 stream input buffers are only created when there is a request body to be read. (markt) Refactor creation of HttpParser instances from the Processor level to the Protocol level since the parser configuration depends on the protocol and the parser is, otherwise, stateless. (markt) Align HTTP/2 with HTTP/1.1 and recycle the container internal request and response processing objects by default. This behaviour can be controlled via the new discardRequestsAndResponses attribute on the HTTP/2 upgrade protocol. (markt) 69206: Ensure statements returned from Statement methods executeQuery(), getResultSet() and getGeneratedKeys() are correctly wrapped before being returned to the caller. Based on pull request 742 provided by Michael Clarke. Fix packaging regression with missing osgi information following addition of the test-only build target. (remm) Update Tomcat Native to 2.0.8. (markt) Update Byte Buddy to 1.14.18. (markt) Improvements to French translations. (remm) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

Allow JAASRealm to use the configuration source to load a configured configFile, for easier use with testing. (remm) Fix a potential NullPointerException in classes that extend ServletResponse when setCharacterEncoding(Charset) is called with null. (markt) Add missing algorithm callback to the JAASCallbackHandler. (remm) Add the OpenSSL version number on the APR and OpenSSL status classes. (remm) 69131: Expand the implementation of the filter value of the Authenticator attribute allowCorsPreflight, so that it applies to all requests that match the configured URL patterns for the CORS filter, rather than only applying if the CORS filter is mapped to /*. (markt) Improve the algorithm used to identify the IP address to use to unlock the acceptor thread when a Connector is listening on all local addresses. Interfaces that are configured for point to point connections or are not currently up are now skipped. (markt) Clean and log OpenSSL errors before processing of OpenSSL conf commands in the FFM code. (remm) 69121: Ensure that the onComplete() event is triggered if AsyncListener.onError() dispatches to a target that throws an exception. (markt) Following the trailer header field refactoring, -1 is no longer an allowed value for maxTrailerSize. Adjust documentation accordingly. (remm) Move OpenSSL support using FFM to a separate JAR named tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar that advertises Java 22 in its manifest. (remm) Fix search for OpenSSL library for FFM on Mac OS so that java.library.path is searched. (markt) Update the optimisation in jakarta.el.ImportHandler so it is aware of new classes added to the java.lang package in Java 23. (markt) Ensure that an exception in toString() still results in an ELException when an object is coerced to a String using ExpressionFactory.coerceToType(). (markt) Add support for specifying Java 24 (with the value 24) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt) 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that context relative includes are processed correctly. (markt) 69135: When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that file relative includes are processed correctly.

(michaelo) Correct a regression in the fix for 68721 that caused some instances of LinkageError to be reported as ClassNotFoundException. (markt) Ensure that static resources deployed via a JAR file remain accessible when the context is configured to use a bloom filter. Based on pull request 730 provided by bergander. (markt) Introduce reference counting so the AprLifecycleListener is more robust. This particularly targets more complex embedded configurations with multiple server instances with independent lifecycles where more than one server instance requires the AprLifecycleListener. (markt) Fix OpenSSL FFM use of ERR_error_string with a 128 byte buffer, and use ERR_error_string_n instead. (remm) Fix a crash on Windows setting CA certificate on null path. (remm) 69068: Ensure read timouts are triggered for asynchronous, non-blocking reads when using HTTP/2. (markt) 69133: Add task queue size configuration on the Connector element, similar to the Executor element, for consistency. (remm) Make counting of active HTTP/2 streams per connection more robust. (markt) Add support for TLS 1.3 client initiated re-keying. (markt) 68546: Small additional optimisation for initial loading of Servlet code generated for JSPs. Based on a suggestion by Dan Armstrong. (markt) Add the ability to set a sub-title for the Manager web application main page. This is intended to allow users with lots of instances to easily distinguish them. Based on pull request 724 by Simon Arame. (markt) Revert Derby to 10.16.1.1 as that is the latest version of Derby that runs on Java 17. (markt) Update to Commons Daemon 1.4.0. (markt) Update to Jakarta Annotations API 3.0. (markt) Update to Jakarta Authentication API 3.1. (markt) Update to Objenesis 3.4. (markt) Update to Checkstyle 10.17.0. (markt) Update to SpotBugs 4.8.5. (markt) Improvements to French translations. (remm) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (markt)

Deprecate and remove sessionCounter (replaced by the addition of the active session count and the expired session count, as a reasonable approximation) and duplicates (which does not represent a possible event in current implementations) statistics from the session manager. (remm) 68890 Align output encoding of JSPs in the Manager webapp with the XML declarations in those same files. (schultz) Update Basic authentication to implement the requirements of RFC 7617 including the removal of the trimCredentials setting which is now hard-coded to false. (markt) Small performance optimization when logging cookies with no values. (schultz) Correct error handling for asynchronous requests. If the application performs an dispatch during AsyncListener.onError() the dispatch is now performed rather than completing the request using the error page mechanism. (markt) Re-factor ElapsedTimeElement in AbstractAccessLogValve to use a customizable style. (schultz) Add more timescale options to AccessLogValve and ExtendedAccessLogValve. Allow timescales to apply to "time-taken" token in ExtendedAccessLogValve. (schultz) Fix WebDAV lock null (locks for non existing resources) thread safety and removal. (remm) Add periodic checking for WebDAV locks expiration. (remm) Extend Asn1Parser to parse UTF8Strings. (michaelo) Remove MBean metadata for attibutes that have been removed. Based on pull request 719 by Shawn Q. (markt) Remove duplicate ID check from Manager.rotateSessionId(). (markt) Add OpenSSL FFM classes to tomcat-embed-core.jar. (remm) Align non-secure and secure writes with NIO and skip the write attempt when there are no bytes to be written. (markt) Allow any positive value for socket.unlockTimeout. If a negative or zero value is configured, the default of 250ms will be used. (mark) Reduce the time spent waiting for the connector to unlock. The previous default of 10s was noticeably too long for cases where the unlock has failed. The wait time is now 100ms plus twice socket.unlockTimeout. (markt) Ensure that the onAllDataRead() event is triggered when the request body uses chunked encoding and is read using non-blocking IO. (markt) 68934: Add debug logging in the latch object when exceeding maxConnections. (remm) Refactor trailer field handling to use a MimeHeaders instance to store trailer fields. (markt) Ensure that multiple instances of the same trailer field are handled correctly. (markt) Fix non-blocking reads of chunked request bodies. (markt) Refactor HTTP header parsing to use common parsing code. (markt) When an invalid HTTP response header was dropped, an off-by-one error meant that the first header in the response was also dropped. Fix based on pull request 710 by foremans. (markt) Add support for specifying Java 23 (with the value 23) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt) 68884: Reduce the write timeout when writing WebSocket close messages for abnormal closes. The timeout defaults to 50 milliseconds and may be controlled using the org.apache.tomcat.websocket.ABNORMAL_SESSION_CLOSE_SEND_TIMEOUT property in the user properties collection associated with the WebSocket session. (markt) Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket chat application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt) Examples: Increase the number of previous messages displayed when using the WebSocket chat application. (markt) Examples: Improve performance of WebSocket snake application when multiple clients disconnect at the same time. (markt) Switch to using the Base64 encoder and decoder provided by the JRE rather than the version provided by Commons Codec. This removes the internal fork of Commons Codec. (markt) Update to the Eclipse JDT compiler 4.31. (markt) Update NSIS to 3.10. (mark0t) Update UnboundID to 7.0.0. (markt) Update Checkstyle to 10.16.0. (markt) Update JaCoCo to 0.8.12.

(markt) Improvements to Japanese translations by tak7iji. (remm)

Add highConcurrencyStatus attribute to the SemaphoreValve to optionally allow the valve to return an error status code to the client when a permit cannot be acquired from the semaphore. (remm) Add checking of the "age" of the running Tomcat instance since its build-date to the SecurityListener, and log a warning if the server is old. (schultz) When using the AsyncContext, throw an IllegalStateException, rather than allowing an NullPointerException, if an attempt is made to use the AsyncContext after it has been recycled. (markt) Add a default implementation for HttpSession.getAccessor() to align with the Servlet 6.1 API. (markt) Add the Jakarta EE 11 XML schemas and update Tomcat and included web applications to use them. (markt) Change the thread-safety mechanism for protecting StandardServer.services from a simple synchronized lock to a ReentrantReadWriteLock to allow multiple readers to operate simultaneously. Based upon a suggestion by Markus Wolfe. (schultz) Improve Service connectors, Container children and Service executors access sync using a ReentrantReadWriteLock. (remm) Improve handling of integer overflow if an attempt is made to upload a file via the Servlet API and the file is larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE. (markt) 68862: Handle possible response commit when processing read errors. (remm) Add threadsMaxIdleTime attribute to the endpoint, to allow configuring the amount of time before an internal executor will scale back to the configured minSpareThreads size. (remm) Adjust the Set-Cookie header generated by the Rfc6265CookieProcessor so that attributes with a value of the empty string will be output as bare attribute names without an equals sign or value. This will simplify future support for similar new attributes by removing the need for special handling. (markt) Refactor the internal representation of the HttpOnly and Secure attributes to use the empty string as the value for consistency with the recent changes to Set-Cookie header generation. (markt) Do not generate the Max-Age attribute for Set-Cookie headers associated with cookies that have been configured with a Max-Age value of zero as RFC 6265 does not permit a value of zero in this case. (markt) Correct a regression in the support for user provided SSLContext instances that broke the org.apache.catalina.security.TLSCertificateReloadListener. (markt) Handle the case where the JSP engine forwards a request/response to a Servlet that uses an OutputStream rather than a Writer. This was triggering an IllegalStateException on code paths where there was a subsequent attempt to obtain a Writer.

(markt) Switch to using LongAdder rather than AtomicInteger to track request count and error count for servlets. (markt) Implement the clarification from the Jakarta Servlet project that Servlets mapped to the context root should be mapped for requests to the context root with or without the trailing /. (markt) Implement the clarification from the Jakarta Servlet project that calling ServletOutputStream.close() on a stream in non-blocking mode returns immediately with the stream effectively closed and any data remaining to be written is written in the background by the container. (markt) Avoid possible ISE when scanning from bad JAR URLs, to restore the previous behavior following the removal of Java 9+ reflection code which caught the ISE. (remm) Refactor uses of String.replaceAll() to use String.replace() where regular expressions where not being used. Pull request 581 provided by Andrei Briukhov. (markt) Add error report valve that allows redirecting to of proxying from an external web server. Based on code and ideas from pull request 506 provided by Max Fortun. (remm) 66470: Add the Shared Address Space defined by RFC 6598 (100.64.0.0/10) to the regular expression used to identify internal proxies for the RemoteIpFilter and RemoteIpValve. (markt) 66471: Fix JSessionId secure attribute missing When RemoteIpFilter determines that this request was submitted via a secure channel. (lihan) Add the additional HTTP status code constants to HttpServletResponse defined by the Jakarta Servlet project for the Servlet 6.1 API.

(markt) Add an RFC 8941 structured field parser. (markt) Add a parser for the priority HTTP header field defined in RFC 9218. (markt) When resetting an HTTP/2 stream because the final response has been generated before the request has been fully read, use the HTTP/2 error code NO_ERROR so that client does not discard the response. Based on a suggestion by Lorenzo Dalla Vecchia. (markt) 66385: Correct a bug in HTTP/2 where a non-blocking read for a new frame with the NIO2 connector was incorrectly made using the read timeout leading to unexpected stream closure. (markt) 66370: Change the default of the org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED system property to true unless the EL library is running on Tomcat in which case the default remains false as the EL library is already called from within a privileged block and skipping the unnecessary privileged block improves performance. (markt) Add support for specifying Java 21 (with the value 21) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used.

This release contains all of the changes up to and including those in Apache Tomcat 10.1.1 plus the additional changes listed below. (markt) 66175: Change the default character set used by the BasicAuthenticator from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8. (markt) 66209: Add a configuration option to allow bloom filters used to index JAR files to be retained for the lifetime of the web application. Prior to this addition, the indexes were always flushed by the periodic calls to WebResourceRoot.gc(). As part of this addition, configuration of archive indexing moves from Context to WebResourceRoot. Based on a patch provided by Rahul Jaisimha. (markt) 66330: Correct a regression introduced when fixing 62897 that meant any value configured for skipMemoryLeakChecksOnJvmShutdown on the Context was ignored and the default was always used. (markt) 66331: Fix a regression in refactoring for Stack on the SystemLogHandler which caught incorrect exception. (lihan) 66338: Fix a regression that caused a nuance in refactoring for ErrorReportValve. (lihan) Escape values used to construct output for the JsonErrorReportValve to ensure that it always outputs valid JSON. (markt) Correct the default implementation of HttpServletRequest.isTrailerFieldsReady() to return true so it is consistent with the default implementation of HttpServletRequest.getTrailerFields() and with the Servlet API provided by the Jakarta EE project. (markt) Refactor WebappLoader so it only has a runtime dependency on the migration tool for Jakarta EE if configured to use the converter as classes are loaded. (markt) Improve the behavior of the credential handler attribute that is set in the Servlet context so that it actually reflects what is used during authentication. (remm) 66359: Update javadoc for RemoteIpValve and RemoteIpFilter with correct protocolHeader default value of "X-Forwarded-Proto". (lihan) Add support for the new attribute for error dispatches jakarta.servlet.error.query_string. (markt) Update ignoreAnnotation attribute on Context to dissociate it from metadata-complete. (remm) Correct the date format used with the expires attribute of HTTP cookies. A single space rather than a single dash should be used to separate the day, month and year components to be compliant with RFC 6265. (markt) Include the name of the current stream state in the error message when a stream is cancelled due to an attempt to write to the stream when it is in a state that does not permit writes. (markt) NIO writes never return -1 so refactor CLOSED_NIO_CHANNEL not to do so and remove checks for this return value. Based on 562 by tianshuang. (markt) Remove unnecessary code that exposed the asyncTimeout to components that never used it. (markt) Ensure that all MessageBytes conversions to byte arrays are valid for the configured character set and throw an exception if not. (markt) When an HTTP/2 stream was reset, the current active stream count was not reduced. If enough resets occurred on a connection, the current active stream count limit was reached and no new streams could be created on that connection. (markt) 66294: Make the use of a privileged block to obtain the thread context class loader added to address 62080 optional and disabled by default. This is now controlled by the org.apache.el.GET_CLASSLOADER_USE_PRIVILEGED system property. (markt) 66317: Fix for Lambda coercion security manager missing privileges. Based on pull request #557 by Isaac Rivera Rivas (lihan) 66325: Fix concurrency issue in evaluation of expression language containing lambda expressions. (markt) Update the ErrorData class in the JSP API to align with the recent changes in the Jakarta Pages specification to support the new error dispatch attribute jakarta.servlet.error.query_string. 66348: Update the JARs listed in the class loader documentation and note which ones are optional. (markt) Documentation. Replace references in the application developer's guide to CVS with more general references to a source code control system. (markt) 66346: Ensure all JDBC pool JARs are reproducible. Pull request 566 provided by John Neffenger. (markt) Update to Commons Daemon 1.3.3. (markt) 66323: Move module start up parameters from JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS to JAVA_OPTS now that the minimum Java version is 11 and these options are always required. (markt) Improvements to Chinese translations. Contributed by DigitalCat and lihan. (markt) Improvements to French translations. Contributed by Mathieu Bouchard. (markt) Improvements to Japanese translations. Contributed by Shirayuking and tak7iji. (markt) Improvements to Korean translations. (markt) Improvements to Spanish translations. (markt) Correct a regression in the removal of the APR connector that broke Graal native image support. Pull request 564 provided by Sébastien Deleuze. (markt) Update the packaged version of the Apache Tomcat Native Library to 2.0.2 to pick up the Windows binaries built with with OpenSSL 3.0.7. (markt) Update the packaged version of the Apache Tomcat Migration Tool for Jakarta EE to 1.0.5. (markt) Refactor code base to replace use of URL constructors. While they are deprecated in Java 20 onwards, the reasons for deprecation are valid for all versions so move away from them now. (markt) Refine the Tomcat native image metadata to avoid including unintended non-Tomcat resources. Pull request 569 provided by Sébastien Deleuze. (markt) Update the internal fork of Apache Commons BCEL to b015e90 (2022-11-28, 6.7.0-RC1). (markt) Update the internal fork of Apache Commons Codec to ae32a3f (2022-11-29, 1.16-SNAPSHOT).
