KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS RELEASE:
============================
------------------------------------------
Redeploying From a Web Application Archive:
------------------------------------------
If you attempt to undeploy, then redeploy, an application from the same
web application archive file URL (where the URL refers to an actual WAR
file, not to a directory), the redeploy will fail with error "zip file is
closed". There appears to be a problem in the JDK's JarURLConnection class
where JAR files are cached, even after they are closed, so that a request
for a connection to the same URL returns the previous JarFile object instead
of a new one. As a workaround, you should do one of the following:
* Change the URL of the web application archive each time you redeploy.
* Deploy from an unpacked directory (on the same server) instead of from
a WAR file (this is often more convenient in a development environment
anyway).
--------------------------
Tomcat 4.0 and XML Parsers:
--------------------------
Previous versions of Tomcat 4.0 exposed the XML parser used by Jasper (the
JAXP/1.1 reference implementation) to web applications. This is no longer
the case, because Jasper loads its parser with a new class loader instead.
Keep the following points in mind when considering how to use XML parsers
in Tomcat 4.0 and your web applications:
* If you wish to make the JAXP/1.1 RI XML parser available to all web
applications, simply move the "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar" files from
the "$TOMCAT_HOME/jasper" directory to the "$TOMCAT_HOME/lib" directory.
* If you wish to make another XML parser that is JAXP/1.1-compatible
available to all web applications, install that parser into the
"$TOMCAT_HOME/lib" directory and remove "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar"
from the "$TOMCAT_HOME/jasper" directory. It has been reported that
Xerces 1.3.1 can be used in this fashion, but 2.x alpha releases
can not be.
* If you wish to use an XML parser (such as Xerces) in the WEB-INF/lib
directory of your web application, this should now be possible, because
of the modified JAXP 1.1 parser mentioned below.
WARNING: Tomcat 4.0 now ships with a modified version of the JAXP/1.1
(Final) "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar" files in the "jasper" subdirectory.
The "sealed" attribute has been removed from the manifest file for these
two JARs, to avoid "package sealing violation" errors that were caused by
them in a JDK 1.3 environment. You MUST NOT replace these files with a
different (or later) release of JAXP, unless that later release has had
the sealed attribute removed, or you will encounter "package sealing violation"
errors when trying to use a different XML parser in a web application.
--------------------
MOD_WEBAPP Connector:
--------------------
A new version of the Apache 1.3 side of the MOD_WEBAPP connector is included
in this release, in the "connectors" directory. It has not been tested
heavily yet, so it should be considered experimental.
