Public bug reported:
I have Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 14.04. Last week I installed the Ubuntu
security updates through apt-get and it upgraded Tomcat to version
7.0.52-1ubuntu0.6 (not sure what the previous version was, most likely
the one right before that since I update on a regular basis). Ever since
that upgrade, session persistence during restart is broken in Tomcat 7,
meaning that all user sessions get killed when I restart Tomcat or the
webapp.
This used to work fine. So I tried downgrading the Tomcat packages. I
didn't find a way to downgrade to "7.0.52-1ubuntu0.5" so I downgraded to
"7.0.52-1" instead:
sudo apt-get install tomcat7=7.0.52-1
sudo apt-get install tomcat7-admin=7.0.52-1
sudo apt-get install tomcat7-common=7.0.52-1
sudo apt-get install libtomcat7-java=7.0.52-1
As soon as I did this, session persistence started to work again. I
tried this on a different computer and the result was the same. I tried
upgrading again and the problem was back. So there really seem to be
something in this update that breaks session persistence.
I tried it after each step while downgrading the 4 packages listed
above, and it only started to work after the last step was done, so
maybe the problem is with the libtomcat7-java package.
