You can't. Not really. But you might be able to fake it.

This is why you can't do what you are asking to be able to do: the
favicon "spec" is the the icon is in the root of the domain, unless
overridden by a  element in the HTML document.

I have no idea how you might do this with .htaccess.

Have a look at this SO answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11227661/adding-favicon-through-a-htt
p-header

Here's a way you might be able to fake it:

1. Write a Filter (or you could do this with mod_rewrite I suppose)
2. Hook on the request for /favicon.ico
3. Examine the request headers for the REFERER (yes, it's misspelled)
4. Return the bits you want depending upon the value of that header

This might not work for e.g. PDF files, but it would work for HTML
files that don't specify their own  elements. YMMV.

Are you compressing and sending a big blob called "data" or something
similar? Or are you sending multiple parameters separately compressed?

If you are calling request.getInputStream, then you will never get
anything in the parameter map. If your code consumes the request body
in a POST, then Tomcat cannot parse it again.

Good thinking. Are you SURE it's the first filter in the chain? We

Are you able to re-test with an updated version of Tomcat 7? Current
version is 7.0.72. Your version is ~2 years old.

Can you post your  configuration?

Thoughts about what might be happening:

1. Application concurrency/request-object retention bug
2. maxPostSize value too low -- Tomcat is rejecting the request in a
way unexpected by the application
3. Edge case/bug in Tomcat that has been fixed in a more-recent version?

Well, that looks suspicious. What's with the getNameParser stuff? Why
not just:

DataSource ds =
(DataSource)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/BFDS");

I've never seen any use of Context.getNameParser in the wild. I had to
check the API to see what it did...

Does it work if you DONT have a custom ClassLoader?

Tomcat 8.5.5 (8.5+) Default Cookie Processor breaks persistent cookies for all IE versions

2016-11-04 Thread Hedrick, Brooke - 43
Sorry if this has been already asked.   I searched the archives and didn't find 
what I was looking for.

Has anyone else run into an issue with persistent cookies in Tomcat 8.5+ and IE 
not working?

We are seeing an issue where the new default cookie processor, 
org.apache.tomcat.util.http.Rfc6265CookieProcessor, is not writing out the 
expires tag for the cookies.  It is only writing out max-age in the 
generateHeader() method.  This is a change from the previous cookie processing.

Here's the current code:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/http/Rfc6265CookieProcessor.java

There is documentation at 
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/cookie-processor.html which 
explains the new vs legacy cookie handler and that this behavior is 
intentional.  It doesn't explain that this behavior isn't limited to IE6-7.  It 
also affects IE8-11 and Edge and as a result, by default, Tomcat 8.5+ does not 
create persistent cookies that work with IE on any IE version.

Does it make sense that the shipping configuration would not work with IE for 
persistent cookies?



There are other gotchas like blank/null cookie values cause problems with the 
new default processor and a leading period in the cookie domain causes issues.  
We have fixed these issues across many applications, but weren't expecting 
issues with persistent cookies not working at all in IE.  The documentation on 
the Tomcat page alludes to IE6-7 having the issue.  It doesn't mention the 
other versions.

We are looking into short term solutions (while avoiding the legacy cookie 
processor ) - writing our own headers, creating a filter, ...

Another interesting observation is that the ExpiresFilter included with Tomcat 
still writes both the expires and max-age attributes.  
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/api/org/apache/catalina/filters/ExpiresFilter.html

Here's a page where you can see the issue of IE not reading the max-age 
attribute.  On Chrome, FF, and Safari, the test will complete after a few runs. 
 On IE, it runs indefinitely.
http://mrcoles.com/media/test/cookies-max-age-vs-expires.html

If I have missed some configuration, tested incorrectly, etc., please let me 
know.

To be fair, Tomcat isn't helping here. We used to have these attributes
on the (session) manager but we removed with the expectation that they
would be configured in web.xml. We could have done a better job of
pointing to the expected locations.

I did say "patches welcome" to André but since he is a committer that
should have been "commits welcome" ;)

Possible issue with generated source from jsp(s).

I current installed Tomcat 8.5.6 and use it with netbeans.

On one of my JSP files, it is creating a source file with a try/catch block 
that is MUCH greater than the 64K limit set by the JVM.   On glassfish and 
websphere, this does not occur.

I haven't checked the size of the method in websphere, but did save the 
generated source on glassfish and the method is 57K (still under the 64K 
limit).  The tomcat one was almost 800K I think.

The older netbeans 8.0 version of tomcat that is bundeled with it does not have 
this problem (version 8.0.9.0)

   thanks,
  Jason

This really appears to be a problem in the servlet spec (not surprising), which 
mentions the getMaxInactiveInterval() and setMaxInactiveInterval() APIs but 
only vaguely ties them to the session-timeout element of session-config.  
Tomcat doc does not normally describe the nuances of the servlet spec, but 
something that associates the config name with the API might be useful.

MaxInactiveInterval

2016-11-04 Thread tomcat

Hi.

A log message in an application running under Tomcat 8 mentions the "MaxInactiveInterval" 
setting, saying that it is a bit short..


The only place in the Tomcat 8 documentation where I find this setting, is in
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/manager.html
where it says that this is deprecated, and should be set in the Context.

However, the page at :
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/context.html
does not mention that parameter at all.

Deep puzzlement.
What is this all about ?

I think that I understand the meaning of the setting (the time for which a session remains 
valid, even without interactions).
But where in the webapp context, and under what name, should an equivalent parameter be 
specified ?

Any custom class loader needs to have the web application class loader

While debugging it was found that getInitialContext()
of org.apache.naming.java.javaURLContextFactory class returns NamingContext
context instead of the custom ContextClassLoader set by our application
 and the reason is "ContextBindings.isClassLoaderBound()"  return false for
application's custom ContextClassLoader.

Code to set custom contextloader :

Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(classLoader);


Please let me know if i have to do any configurations for tomcat 8, to
resolve this issue .


Note : Our application start fine with tomcat 7.
