Hi All, I have observed a regression between tomcat 5 and tomcat 7.
In my tomcat webapp, before I spawn another tomcat webapp process, I pass on the keystore password by setting the system property "javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword" to keystore password, instead of writing the keystore password in plain-text as an attribute in server.xml. This used to work in tomcat 5. However in tomcat 7, the same webapp/keystore throws the following error: Nov 22, 2011 8:04:45 PM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol init SEVERE: Failed to initialize end point associated with

initializing. The keystore is perfectly valid, since it works with tomcat 5. Has anyone else observed this issue with tomcat 7? Any ideas/pointers how to fix it?
