--- Comment #6 from Juergen Sussner <juergen.suss...@gmail.com> --- Sure, it would be great if you could provide a replacement class so i would patch the class in our tomcat having this effect to verrify the fix. I assume there are no class signature braking changes between 8.0.8 and the current trunk. Since the affected tomcat is one of my company i cant just give you the applications, but i'll try to annonymize the stuff and send it to you whe i am back in office, hopefully this could help to recreate the issue. ------------------------------- The other sing is: we migrated the config from a tomcat 6 and the property -Duser.dir was set to /tmp/ within /tmp/ the virus scanner created a only root readable directory. It took some time and a strace and a remote debugging session to figure out what prevents the tomcat from starting as non root user, because every application, work dir and tomcat installation files belong to the tomcat user The debugger clearly pointed out that the tomcat scanns the directory denoted by user.dir and tries to list all files, event files in this unreadable directory created by the virus scanner. Annyhow. Even if this is a missconfiguration, it would be great if the tomcat issues a meaningfull error message and not just a nullpointer, leving no clue where to look for the issue.
