I think the problem arises because
a. public static final boolean IS_SECURITY_ENABLED =
(System.getSecurityManager() != null);
is more a macro definition than a constant definition.
But as Java does not support macros, the compiler cannot replace
occurrences of 'IS_SECURITY_ENABLED' with
'System.getSecurityManager() != null)'
b. As there are multiple classes named 'Constants' in different
packages,
there is no import declaration for org.apache.coyote.Constants in the
Http11Processor class because it would clash with
org.apache.coyote.http11.Constants.
I would guess that with an import declaration the 'Constants' class
would have been resolved earlier by the class loader.
If this is the case, there would be different ways to solve the problem:
1. use
import static org.apache.coyote.Constants.IS_SECURITY_ENABLED;
This is possible since Java 5 and allows to refer to IS_SECURITY_ENABLED
in the code without a package/class qualifier.
I am not sure if this would solve the issue, but it is an easy trial
(afaik Tomcat 6 requires Java 5 anyway).
2. org.apache.coyote.http11.Constants extends
org.apache.coyote.Constants
I have not checked if there would be name conflicts between declartions
in these packages, but if there are any,
I would try to resolve them anyway.
However, this would not allow to declare the Constants classes final.
I am not sure if this has any impact.
3. refactor the class names to avoid name clashes (CoyoteConstants,
CoyoteHttp11Constants, ...)
4. introduce a new class
package org.apache.coyote;
public final class CoyoteMacros
{
public static final boolean IS_SECURITY_ENABLED =
(System.getSecurityManager() != null);
}

It goes live straight away, so I suppose some request from user web
application might have already been served.
I've been observing this problem for quite a while, and it has been
there all
the time.
The HTTP connector stays unused because of this problem.
You might be right - may be the last time it did not appear because my
test
was done prior to a request to an application that triggers it.

I'd be glad to test the patch.
