Upgrade binary distribution to use latest Tomcat 7.0.21
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: PLUTO-611
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PLUTO-611
Project: Pluto
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.2
Reporter: Ate Douma
Assignee: Ate Douma
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.3, 2.1.0
Currently Tomcat 6.0.26 is bundled with the binary distribution of Pluto (both
2.0.x and trunk), which is too old.
I've tested against latest Tomcat 7.0.21 and everything works fine, including
validating against the Portlet 2.0 TCK.
One specific and major change is needed however for upgrading to Tomcat 7.x:
The emptySessionPath="true" server connector setting no longer is supported!
(see also PLUTO-53).
The new solution is to add sessionCookiePath="/" to the root context.xml
($CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml) Context element,
e.g. change <Context> to <Context sessionCookiePath="/">
See also: http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html#Session_cookie_configuration
And also nice: it is already support from Tomcat 6.0.27+ which means this new
configuration can be used for any latest Tomcat 6.x as well!
Other than this change and the version bump to Tomcat 7.0.21 (both done in
dist-build.xml) nothing else is needed to upgrade to latest Tomcat 7.x
