Turns out it was something we shouldn't have been doing -

you mean, apart from top-posting here ?

but it was
definitely a change in tomcat (51 or so) that resulted in the issue(s).

Just something to keep in mind.


Well yes, but in all truth, if you were doing something which you should not have been doing - and bonus points for admitting it - then you cannot really blame the tomcat developers for making a change which broke it, even over Christmas, can you ?

At the contrary, you should be grateful : the fact that the change pointed out the bad thing in your code, may have prevented the later advent of a nuclear war. That would have been even less fun over Christmas.

As a concession, maybe George's post below could have been prefixed with "If your code is well-behaved, .."

There's a fair chance that you can update to the latest version of TC 6
without anything breaking, but of course that's not guaranteed.

I can think of very few instances where a change in Tomcat broke my app.
The only one I can really remember was a change that I initiated :)
