Apache Tomcat 5.0.9 is a beta release, and contains the following known issues:
* The security contraint matching implementation may not be compliant with the Servlet 2.4 PFD 3 specification, due to confusion over the specification meaning.
* The administration web application cannot currently be used to view or edit hosts and connectors.
* Deployment descriptors using schemas (based on the new specifications) cannot currently be validated.
* An exception can occur on Tomcat startup when attempting to load serialized sessions. This exception should be ignored.
