           Summary: ManagerBase.setRandomFile error handling fix
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.18
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: k...@wolf-associates.com


On some platforms (z/OS for sure), the device file /dev/urandom can pass the
"f.exists()" test, but throws an IOException of some kind when trying to open
it.  The current code in ManagerBase.setRandomFile() doesn't handle this, which
results in EVERY call to getRandom() to try again and log the error  "Failed to
close randomIS".

The following changes to the method will add proper error handling to correct
this (my changes marked "// kjw")

    public void setRandomFile( String s ) {
        // as a hack, you can use a static file - and genarate the same
        // session ids ( good for strange debugging )
        if (Globals.IS_SECURITY_ENABLED){
            randomIS = (DataInputStream)AccessController.doPrivileged(new
PrivilegedSetRandomFile());          
        } else {
            try{
                devRandomSource=s;
                File f=new File( devRandomSource );
                if( ! f.exists() ) return;
                randomIS= new DataInputStream( new FileInputStream(f));
                randomIS.readLong();
                if( log.isDebugEnabled() )
                    log.debug( "Opening " + devRandomSource );
            } catch( IOException ex ) {
                log.debug("Error reading " + devRandomSource, ex); //kjw
                if (randomIS != null) {  // kjw: if opened
                    try {
                        randomIS.close();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        log.warn("Failed to close randomIS.");
                    }
                }                       // kjw 
                devRandomSource = null; // kjw: don't try again automatically
                randomIS=null;
            }
        }
    }
