Summary: tomcat-users.xml has invalid encoding "cp1252" when
using endorsed library xercesImpl.jar
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: 6.0.18
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows Vista
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
tomcat-users.xml has invalid encoding "cp1252" when using endorsed library
xercesImpl.jar when tomcat is run for the first time.
(in tomcat.6.0.16 the default encoding for the file was utf-8... now for
tomcat.6.0.18 it is cp1252)
We have an installation process for our software which:
1. Installs our software
2. Fires up the windows installation for tomcat.6.0.18
3. configures the endorsed java options by modifying the registry setting for
tomcat (ie -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\endorsed)
4. copies the endorsed jar files to the endorsed directory
5. deploys our application's war file to the webapps directory.
6. attempts to start tomcat
The generated exception is:
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.18
Mar 25, 2009 4:06:37 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester fatalError
SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 1 column 40: Invalid encoding name "cp1252".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Invalid encoding name "cp1252".
at
org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown
Source)
...
My workaround for this problem is to deploy a copy of tomcat-users.xml file
with the encoding set to "utf-8" to the conf directory before tomcat is
attempted to be started. (ie between steps 5 and 6 above). Once tomcat is
started, this file is overwritten anyway.
