Remy and Costin, I will reverse the patch since there are enough -1s on this. One question: should we continue to set the "-Djava.ext.dirs=" in the wrapper scripts? This disables the extensions but without any code change to Tomcat. Or do we want to revert back to the original scripts where the extensions are enabled by default?
