- Tomcat 3.2 is the first performance tune-up, and also adds a few new
features (see next section).
+- Tomcat 3.2.2 is a bug fix release that collects the fixes that have
+been applied since version 3.2.1 was released.
+
- It is expected that Tomcat 3.3 will feature additional major performance
improvements resulting from changes in data representation and algorithms.
Version 3.3 will also undergo a major review of security (to be able to
trust that "untrusted" code runs safely), and support for I18N character
sets.
-- Tomcat 3.4 will likely focus on scalability and advanced load balancing.
-It will also support version 2.3 of the Java Servlet specification.
-(First-round support for version 2.3 for the servlet specification may be
-included in version 3.3.)

5. NEW FEATURES IN THIS RELEASE
-
-Tomcat 3.2 is mainly a performance tune-up release, although a few new
-features have been added.
-
-- Support for mod_jk, which is a replacement to the elderly mod_jserv, has
- had several bugs fixed and has received much more testing. It is now
- recommended that all users use mod_jk instead of mod_jserv.
-
-- Support JAXP-based XML parser independence.
-
-- New and often requested "how-to" documents covering the following topics:
- - Configuring workers.properties
- - IIS and Netscape configuration
- - Running tomcat inside an IIS or Netscape process
- - Running Tomcat as a Windows NT service
- - Configuring a JDBC realm
- - Configuring mod_jk
-
-- First round of policy-based security support intended for running untrusted
- code inside of Tomcat. Interested users should test this support and post
- feedback to the Tomcat users mailing list.
-
-- SSL support for standalone Tomcat. (Preliminary support first appeared in
- 3.1, but the support in 3.2 has received more testing and documentation
- support).
-
-- Thread reuse is now enabled by default. The thread pool support code was part
- of 3.1, but not enabled since it was new.
-- Support for plug-able session managers. Unfortunately, no how-to documents
- that support this functionality exist (yet). For the adventurous, be aware
- that the interface that allows administrators to plug session managers is
- the normal Interceptor interface.
+Tomcat 3.2.2 is strictly a bug fix release. No new features have been
+added.
-- An almost total rewrite of the HTTP request handling now results in improved
- performance when running Tomcat stand-alone.
-
-- Significantly reduced garbage collection.
-
-- The code underwent a refactoring effort resulting in improved readability.
-
-- And of course, hundreds of miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

7. FIXES AND ENHANCEMENTS IN UPDATES
+
+
+7.1 Fixes and Enhancements in Release 3.2.2
+
+This section highlights the bugs fixed in this release. In addition to
+these, there have been many other minor bug fixes through the product.
-7.1 Fixes and Enhancements In Release 3.2.1
+Documentation
+ - Several updates to how-to documents and users guide.
-JDBCRealm - The exception message that is logged when an exception occurs now
-includes a description of the actual SQLException, to aid in debugging the
-cause of the problem. Also, this class is no longer marked "final", so that
-it can be conveniently subclassed by customized versions.
-
-ShowSource - The mechanism used to display the JSP source examples could be
-used to display sensitive files from the WEB-INF and META-INF directories.
-This has been corrected.
-
-SSL Documentation - The "doc/tomcat-ssl-howto.html" document has been updated
-to reflect more current information about using Tomcat+Apache in an SSL
-environment.
-
-Security Vulnerability - Tomcat 3.2 (final) exposes sensitive information when
-a URL like "http://localhost:8080/examples//WEB-INF/web.xml" (note the double
-slash) is presented. This has been corrected so that a 404 is returned.
+Connectors
+ - Fix infinite loop on invalid content-length for ajp12. (#264)
+ - Fix infinite llop if Tomcat connector closed connection. (#510)
+ - For ajp13 protocol, add support for multipart form encoding
+ and file uploads now work.
+ - Reading session ids from cookies in the load balancer. (#603)
+
+ IIS
+ - Better error logging for startup failures.
+ NetWare
+ - Fix for netbuf_getbytes() not supported on NetWare 5.1.
+
+Jasper
+ - Fix for UnsupportedEncodingException due UTF8 instead of UTF-8. (#269)
+ - Support compiling with debug information.
+ - If JSP source file is removed then generated files are removed
+ and subsequent requests return a 404 error. (#698)
+ - Fix compile error with more than one set of tags with the same
+ name. (#540)
+ - Support for non 8858-1 character encodings for included pages.
+ - Better error reporting if compile fails due to missing tag library.
+ - Fix thread synchronization problem that can cause page compilation to

+ a 404 error.
+ - Handle UnAvailable exceptions in included servlets.
+ - User Principle was incorrectly maintained. (#757)

+ is being used.
+ - Properly interpret url-patterns inside security-contraints. (#567)

+ - reqeust.getPort() now returns the correct port when using SSL. (#743)
