RE: Exception on JDBCRealm Authorization
Jerry, for definitive answers you'll probably want one of the developers - but here's my take, with big doses of IMHO YMMV... Has Tomcat acknowledged this and agreed that it will be fixed in 5.5.8? M. Maucherat suggests, in the thread i referenced earlier, that he has fixed it in 5.5.8 Any ETA for 5.5.8? Unless I'm missing something, this seems like it was be a pretty high severity bug. Or are you and I the only two people using JDBC Realms with 5.5.7? bit of a culture issue here, that took me a while to get used to as well. when *i* grew up, software with known broken functionality wouldn't rate a final version number, but the Tomcat team (and, in my experience, Open Source software in general) is a bit more relaxed about it: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/version.html#when Is there no mechanism for putting out patch jar files? ... is it possible to extract a JDBCRealm jar file from 5.5.4 without having to completely uninstall and reinstall all of Tomcat? will need to defer to the list on this one... FYI, and this is something i just learned recently as well, using the $CATALINA_BASE trick to separate out your site-specific stuff from the core server code makes it *way* easier to uninstall and reinstall all of Tomcat. --alex. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Exception on JDBCRealm Authorization
Alex, Thanks so much for doing the research on this. I do have a few questions. Has Tomcat acknowledged this and agreed that it will be fixed in 5.5.8? Any ETA for 5.5.8? Unless I'm missing something, this seems like it was be a pretty high severity bug. Or are you and I the only two people using JDBC Realms with 5.5.7? Is there no mechanism for putting out patch jar files? One last question... is it possible to extract a JDBCRealm jar file from 5.5.4 without having to completely uninstall and reinstall all of Tomcat? (and if so, what is the jar file name?) Thanks again.
