>
> I'm pleased to announce the availability of the Beta 2 release of the
> next generation of the Tomcat servlet container, at:
>
> http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0-b2/
>
> Tomcat 4.0 beta 2 has many new features, including:
>
> * Tomcat 4.0 can now run web applications out of an unpacked
> directory or directly from a WAR file.
>
> * Web applications are now run under the control of a Java
> SecurityManager that can support fine-grained control over each
> web-app's access to system resources.
>
> * You can now specify a <DefaultContext> element in the server
> configuration file (server.xml) that defines default configuration
> information for contexts that are automatically configured.
>
> * An example Filter implementation that supports on-the-fly GZIP
> compression for clients that support it.
>
> * A servlet that implements all of the NCSA documented
> functionality for server side includes (*.shtml) except for the
> "exec" capability.
>
> * Standard resource factories for JavaMail related resources
> accessible via a JNDI InitialContext, compatible with J2EE
> Specification requirements.
>
> * Reflects the most up-to-date changes in the Servlet 2.3 and
> JSP 1.2 APIs that have been approved by the JSR-053 expert
> group, and will appear in the next published version of the
> corresponding specifications.
>
> In addition, the following major bug fixes are included:
>
> * Fixes for two reported security vulnerabilities (a "cross site
> scripting vulnerability" plus a "URL decoding vulnerability")
>
> * The JSP servlet (Jasper) that compiles and executes JSP pages
> now uses its own classloader its associated XML parser, which
> avoids potential conflicts with parsers included with a web
> application.
>
> * Bug fix updates for directory listings, the WebDAV support,
> binding to a single IP address (if requested), incorrectly
> named access log files, URL decoding improvements, form-based
> authentication, HTTP/1.1 chunking, isUserInRole(), JSP page
> parsing problems, and many other patches.
>
> See the Tomcat 4.0 Beta 2 Release Notes (RELEASE-NOTES-4.0-B2.txt)
> that are included in the top-level directory of the release for more
> detailed information.
