Is there any conceivable > scenario where someone would prefer to have non-deterministic behavior? I would not call the behavior of Tomcat 8+ non-deterministic. It may be *unspecified*, and it may not be as deterministic as that of previous versions, but if we look only at the order of loading on a static system (where a package is already installed and remains untouched), readdir's order looks at least generally deterministic to me. If the current order is considered determined and differs from the previous (alphabetical) order, that means going back to the previous behavior would change that order again, potentially causing the same kind of regressions that the change brought. Considering that the change was released more than 8 years ago, I do think of obvious scenarios where someone would prefer the current behavior. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
