  • Fix: 65726: Implement support for HTTP/1.1 upgrade when the request includes a body. The maximum permitted size of the body is controlled by maxSavePostSize. (markt)
  • Fix: Restore pre-starting of minSpareThreads lost in the fix for 65454. (markt)
  • Fix: Revert the previous fix for 65714 and implement a more comprehensive fix. (markt)
  • Fix: Allow freeing up context on JVM shutdown in the OpenSSL Panama module by properly using a shared scope. (remm)
  • Fix: 65757: Missing initial IO listener notification on Servlet container dispatch to another container thread. (remm)
  • Fix: Expand the fix for 65757 so that rather than just checking if processing is happening on a container thread, the check is now if processing is happening on the container thread currently allocated to this request/response. (markt)
  • Fix: Improve the fix for RST frame ordering added in 10.1.0-M8 to avoid a potential deadlock on some systems in non-default configurations. (markt)

  • Add: Add support for specifying Java 18 (with the value 18) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the default will used. (markt)
  • Update: To align with the JSP 3.1 specification that requires Java 11 as a minimum, make the default JSP source version and target version Java 11. (markt)

WebSocket

  • Fix: Remove the ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_EXTENSIONS system property. As per RFC 6455, all extensions are optional. If an endpoint declares an extension that isn't supported there is no need to trigger an error. The extension can just be excluded from the result of the negotiation. (markt)
  • Fix: Remove the DISABLE_BUILTIN_EXTENSIONS. It was added to enable Tomcat to pass the WebSocket TCK but after updates to the TCK, it is no longer required. (markt)

  • Fix: 65677: Improve exception handling for errors during HTTP/1.1 reads with NIO2. (markt)
  • Fix: When an error occurs that triggers a stream reset, ensure that the first RST frame sent to the client is the one associated with the error that triggered the reset. (markt)
  • Fix: 65714: Fix exceptions when the security manager is enabled and the first request received after starting is an HTTP request to a TLS enabled NIO2 connector. (markt)
  • Add: Ensure that using NIO or NIO2 with OpenSSL for TLS behaves the same way on MacOS as it does on Linux and Windows when no trusted certificate authorities are configured and reject all client certificates. (markt)
  • Fix: Avoid a potential deadlock during the concurrent processing of incoming HTTP/2 frames for a stream and that stream being reset. (markt)

WebSocket

  • Add: Update the WebSocket API packaging to remove the copy of the client API from the server API and replace it with a dependency on the client API. This aligns Tomcat with changes in the WebSocket 2.1 specification. (markt)

2021-11-15 Tomcat 10.1.0-M7 (markt)

Catalina

  • Code: Refactor HttpServlet so the default doHead() implementation now calls doGet() and relies on the container to ensure that the response body is not sent. The previous behaviour (wrapping the response) may be enabled per Servlet by setting the jakarta.servlet.http.legacyDoHead Servlet initialisation parameter to true. This aligns Tomcat with recent changes updates for Servlet 6.0 in the Jakarta Servlet specification project. (markt)
  • Add: Add support for setting generic attributes for session cookies. This aligns Apache Tomcat with recent changes in the Jakarta Servlet specification project. (markt)
  • Fix: Do not add a trailing / to a request URI during canonicalization. (markt)
  • Fix: Invalid byte sequences (typically in %nn form) in a request URi that are not valid for the given URI encoding now trigger a 400 response. (markt)
  • Fix: Ensure that a request URI starts with a /. (markt)
  • Add: Add a new Connector option, rejectSuspiciousURIs that will causes 'suspicious' (see the Servlet 6.0 specification) URIs to be rejected with a 400 response. (markt)
  • Fix: Improve robustness of JNDIRealm for exceptions occurring when getting the connection. Also add missing close when running into issues getting the passord of a user. (remm)
  • Docs: Add Javadoc comment which listeners must be nested within Server elements only. (michaelo)

Jasper

  • Update: Regenerate the EL parser using JavaCC 7.0.10. (markt)
  • Fix: Fix a bug that prevented the EL parser correctly parsing a literal Map that used variables rather than literals for both keys and values. (markt)
  • Update: Ensure that the getType() method of any ELResolver implementation returns null if either the ELResolver or the resolved property is read-only to align Tomcat with recent updates in the Jakarta EL specification project. (markt)
  • Fix: Implement an alternative solution to support the JSP page directive attribute isThreadSafe now that the SingleThreadModel interface has been removed from the Servlet API. The new approach synchronizes the service() method.

WebSocket

  • Add: Refactor ScopedAttributeELResolver to separate out the functionality that is unrelated to scoped attributes into two new resolvers: ImportELResolver and NotFoundELResolver. This aligns Tomcat with recent updates to the Jakarta Server Pages specification. (markt)
  • Fix: Fix the implementation of MethodExpression.getMethodInfo() so that it returns the expected value rather than failing when the method expression is defined with the parameter values in the expression rather than the types being passed explicitly to ExpressionFactory.createMethodExpression(). (markt)
  • Add: Add support for a new page/tag directive errorOnELNotFound that can be used to trigger an identifier if an EL expression in a page/tag contains an identifier that cannot be resolved. (markt)

  • Fix: Clarify the JASPIC configuration options in the documentation web application. (markt)

Other

  • Fix: 65585: Update obsolete comments at the start of the build.properties.default file. (markt)

2021-09-10 Tomcat 10.1.0-M5 (markt)

Catalina

  • Fix: Enable Tomcat to start if an (old) XML parser is configured that does not support allow-java-encodings. A warning will be logged if such an XML parser is detected. (markt)
  • Fix: Change the behaviour of custom error pages. If an error occurs after the response is committed, once the custom error page content has been added to the response the connection is now closed immediately rather than closed cleanly. i.e. the last chunk that marks the end of the response body is no longer sent. This acts as an additional signal to the client that the request experienced an error. (markt)
  • Fix: 65479: When handling requests using JASPIC authentication, ensure that PasswordValidationCallback.getResult() returns the result of the password validation rather than always returning false. Fixed via pull request #438 provided by Robert Rodewald. (markt)
  • Update: Improve the reusability of the UserDatabase by adding intermediate concrete implementation classes and allowing to do partial database updates on save. (remm)

  • Add: 65661: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons FileUpload to 33d2d79 (2021-09-01, 2.0-SNAPSHOT). Refactoring and code clean-up. As a result of Commons File Upload now using java.nio.file.Files, applications using multi-part uploads need to ensure that the JVM is configured with sufficient direct memory to store all in progress multi-part uploads. (markt)
  • Add: Update the internal fork of Apache Commons Pool to 2.11.1 (2021-08-17). Improvements, code clean-up and refactoring. (markt)

2021-08-06 Tomcat 10.1.0-M4 (markt)

WebSocket

  • Fix: Correct a regression in the Java 8 to Java 11 changes made in 10.1.0-M3 that caused all WebSocket end points to fail to register. (markt)

not released Tomcat 10.1.0-M3 (markt)

General

  • Update: Update the minimum required Java version to Java 11. (markt)

Catalina

  • Code: Incremented the supported Jakarta Servlet version to 6.0 to align with the current development branch of the Jakarta Servlet specification. Plans have changed and the next iteration of the Servlet specification will be 6.0 rather than 5.1. (markt)
  • Fix: 65411: Always close the connection when an uncaught NamingException occurs to avoid connection locking. Submitted by Ole Ostergaard. (remm)
  • Fix: 65433: Correct a regression in the fix for 65397 where a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException could be triggered if the canonical path of the target of a symlink was shorter than the canonical path of the directory in which the symlink had been created. Patch provided by Cedomir Igaly. (markt)
  • Add: 65443: Refactor the CorsFilter to make it easier to extend. (markt)
  • Fix: To avoid unnecessary cache revalidation, do not add an HTTP Expires header when setting adding an HTTP header of CacheControl: private. (markt)
  • Code: Refactor JULI's custom LogManager, the web application class loader implementation, the web resources implementation, the JreLeakPreventionListener implementation and the StandardJarScanner implementation to remove Java 8 specific code now that the minimum Java version has been increased to 11. (markt)
  • Code: Remove all references to the endorsed standards override feature and the specifying of optional packages (extensions) in the manifest as these are not supported in Java 11. (markt)

Coyote

  • Fix: When writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile (only enabled when useAsyncIO is true) the connection flow control window was sometimes ignored leading to various error conditions. sendfile now checks both the stream and connection flow control windows before writing. (markt)
  • Add: Add debug logging for writing an HTTP/2 response via sendfile. (markt)
  • Fix: Correct bugs in the HTTP/2 connection flow control management that meant it was possible for a connection to stall waiting for a connection flow control window update that had already arrived. Any streams on that connection that were trying to write when this happened would time out. (markt)
  • Fix: 65448: When using TLS with NIO, it was possible for a blocking response write to hang just before the final TLS packet associated with the response until the connection timed out at which point the final packet would be sent and the connection closed. (markt)
  • Fix: 65454: Fix a race condition that could result in a delay to a new request. The new request could be queued to wait for an existing request to finish processing rather than the thread pool creating a new thread to process the new request. (markt)
  • Fix: 65460: Correct a regression introduced in the previous release in the change to reduce the number of small HTTP/2 window updates sent for streams. A logic error meant that small window updates for the connection were dropped. This meant that the connection flow window slowly reduced over time until nothing could be sent. (markt)
  • Fix: Remove NIO workarounds and code that is no longer needed with Java 11. (remm)
  • Code: Refactor the endpoints to remove Java 8 specific code now that the minimum Java version has been increased to 11. (markt)

Jasper

  • Code: Add additional generics to the EL API to align with the latest changes in the EL specification project. (markt)
  • Add: Enable EL lambda expressions to be coerced to functional interfaces. This is an implementation of a proposed extension to the Jakarta Expression Language specification. (markt)
  • Code: Refactor the EL API and implementation to remove Java 8 specific code now that the minimum Java version has been increased to 11. (markt)

WebSocket

  • Code: Refactor the WebSocket implementation to remove Java 8 specific code now that the minimum Java version has been increased to 11. (markt)

Web applications

  • Fix: 65404: Correct a regression in the fix for 63362 that caused the server status page in the Manager web application to be truncated if HTTP upgrade was used such as when starting a WebSocket connection. (markt)

  • Add: Improvements to Chinese translations contributed by ZhangJieWen and chengzheyan. (markt)
  • Add: Improvements to French translations. (remm)
  • Add: Improvements to Japanese translations contributed by tak7iji. (markt)

  • Fix: Use of GraalVM native images no longer automatically disables JMX support. JMX support may still be disabled by calling org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.Registry.disableRegistry(). (markt)

2021-07-02 Tomcat 10.1.0-M2 (markt)

Catalina

  • Code: Refactor the RemoteIpValve to use the common utility method for list to comma separated string conversion. (markt)
  • Code: Refactor JNDIRealm$JNDIConnection so its fields are accessible to sub-classes of JNDIRealm. (markt)
  • Fix: Fix serialization warnings in UserDatabasePrincipal reported by SpotBugs. (markt)
  • Fix: 65397: Calls to ServletContext.getResourcePaths() no longer include symbolic links in the results unless allowLinking has been set to true. If a resource is skipped because of this change, a warning will be logged as this typically indicates a configuration issue. (markt)

Coyote

  • Fix: 65368: Improve handling of clean closes of inbound TLS connections. Treat them the same way as clean closes of non-TLS connections rather than as unknown errors. (markt)
  • Fix: Modify the HTTP/2 connector not to sent small updates for stream flow control windows to the user agent as, depending on how the user agent is written, this may trigger small writes from the user agent that in turn trigger the overhead protection. Small updates for stream flow control windows are now combined with subsequent flow control window updates for that stream to ensure that all stream flow control window updates sent from Tomcat are larger than overheadWindowUpdateThreshold. (markt)
  • Add: Add additional debug logging to track the current state of the HTTP/2 overhead count that Tomcat uses to detect and close potentially malicious connections. (markt)
  • Update: Many HTTP/2 requests from browsers will trigger one overhead frame and one non-overhead frame. Change the overhead calculation so that a non-overhead frame reduces the current overhead count by 2 rather than 1. This means that, over time, the overhead count for a well-behaved connection will trend downwards. (markt)
  • Update: Change the initial HTTP/2 overhead count from -10 to -10 * overheadCountFactor. This means that, regardless of the value chosen for overheadCountFactor, when a connection opens 10 overhead frames in a row will be required to trigger the overhead protection. (markt)
  • Update: Increase the default overheadCountFactor from 1 to 10 and change the reduction in overhead count for a non-overhead frame from -2 to -20. This allows for a larger range (0-20) to be used for overheadCountFactor providing for finer-grained control. (markt)
  • Fix: Modify the parsing of HTTP header values that use the 1#token to ignore empty elements as per RFC 7230 section 7 instead of treating the presence of empty elements as an error. (markt)
  • Fix: Expand the unit tests for HttpServlet.doHead() and correct the flushing of the response buffer. The buffer used to behave as if it was one byte smaller than the configured size. The buffer was flushed (and the response committed if required) when the buffer was full. The buffer is now flushed (and the response committed if required) if the buffer is full and there is more data to write. (markt)
  • Fix: Fix an issue where concurrent HTTP/2 writes (or concurrent reads) to the same connection could hang and eventually timeout when async IO was enabled (it is enabled by default). (markt)

Jasper

  • Fix: 65387: Correct a regression in the fix for 65124 and restore the local definition of out for tags that implement TryCatchFinally. (markt)
  • Fix: 65390: Correct a regression in the fix for 65124 and restore code that was removed in error leading to JSP compilation failures in some circumstances. (markt)
  • Update: Update to the Eclipse JDT compiler 4.20. (markt)
  • Add: Add support for specifying Java 17 (with the value 17) as the compiler source and/or compiler target for JSP compilation. If used with an Eclipse JDT compiler version that does not support these values, a warning will be logged and the latest supported version will used. (markt)
  • Fix: 65377: Update the Java code generation for JSPs not to use the boxed primitive constructors as they have been deprecated in Java 9 and marked for future removal in Java 16. valueOf() is now used instead. (markt)

WebSocket

  • Code: Refactor the DigestAuthenticator to reuse a shared SecureRandom instance rather than create a new one to generate the cnonce if required. (markt)

  • Fix: 65340: Add missing check for a negative return value for Hpack.decodeInteger in the HpackDecoder, which could cause a NegativeArraySizeException exception. Submitted by Thomas, and verified the fix is present in the donated hpack code in a further update. (remm)
  • Add: Add debug logging for HTTP/2 HPACK header decoding. (markt)
  • Fix: Correct parsing of HTTP headers consisting of a list of tokens so that a header with an empty token is treated consistently regardless of whether the empty token is at the start, middle or end of the list of tokens. (markt)

  • Code: Refactor use of internal ChildInfo class to use compile time type checking rather than run time type checking. (markt)
  • Fix: 65124: Partial fix. When generating Java source code to call a tag handler, only define the local variable JspWriter out when it is going to be used. (markt)
  • Code: Add generics to the EL 5.0 API to align with the current EL 5.0 development branch. (markt)
  • Update: Update the web-fragment.xml included in jasper.jar and jasper-el.jar to use the Servlet 5.0 schema. (markt)

  • Code: Remove the deprecated method MethodExpression.isParmetersProvided() from the EL API to align with the current EL 5.0 development branch. (markt)
  • Fix: 65358: Improve expression language method matching for methods with varargs. Where multiple methods may match the provided parameters, the method that requires the fewest varargs is preferred. (markt)
  • Add: 65332: Add a commented out section in catalina.policy that provides the necessary permissions to compile JSPs with javac when running on Java 9 onwards with a security manager. It is commented out as it will cause errors if used with earlier Java versions. (markt)

WebSocket
