Hi, I'm using the new UserDatabase (org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase / org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory) as configured by default with Tomcat 4.1.27.
Our System admin made a basic XML error, and in tomcat-users.xml put and entry in like... <user username="tomcat" password="tom&cat" roles="tomcat" /> Obviously the '&' makes this invalid XML, and tomcat doesn't start... We changed the & to & the XML was then valid, the user account worked, life was good.... A few days later, after he restarted the server, it was broke again... Seems that when Tomcat re-wrote out the tomcat-users.xml file, instead of escaping the & and writing it back out as & it just put it out a &, so we were back to square one! Question: 1) Is this a bug? 2) Can I stop the 're-writing' part of this as a work around? 3) Are XML entities not allowed in tomcat-users.xml?
