============
INTRODUCTION:
============
This document describes the changes that have been made in the current
beta release of Apache Tomcat, relative to the previous release.
Bug reports should be entered at the bug reporting system for
Jakarta projects at:
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/
Please report bugs and feature requests under product name "Tomcat 4".
This version of Tomcat 4 should be considered a "release candidate" for
all capabilities except the mod_webapp connector. Only bugfix changes will
be implemented before a Tomcat 4.0 final release is made available, which
will occur when the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 specifications go final.
----> UPCOMING CHANGE NOTICE: In a future release of Tomcat 4.0, it
----> is likely that the default operational mode will be to run Tomcat
----> under a security manager (rather than the current default of not
----> using one). This may necessitate editing the policy permissions
----> file ($CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.policy) if your web applications
----> require permissions that are not enabled by default (such as connecting
----> to network ports). You are urged to test your applications with
----> Tomcat 4.0-b5 running under the security manager now, so that this
----> upcoming change will not be disruptive. To do so, start Tomcat 4.0
----> with the command "$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start -security"
----> (Unix) or "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina start -security" (Windows).

KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS RELEASE:
============================
--------------------------
Tomcat 4.0 and XML Parsers:
--------------------------
Previous versions of Tomcat 4.0 exposed the XML parser used by Jasper (the
JAXP/1.1 reference implementation) to web applications. This is no longer
the case, because Jasper loads its parser with a new class loader instead.
Keep the following points in mind when considering how to use XML parsers
in Tomcat 4.0 and your web applications:
* If you wish to make the JAXP/1.1 RI XML parser available to all web
applications, simply move the "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar" files from
the "$TOMCAT_HOME/jasper" directory to the "$TOMCAT_HOME/lib" directory.
* If you wish to make another XML parser that is JAXP/1.1-compatible
available to all web applications, install that parser into the
"$TOMCAT_HOME/lib" directory and remove "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar"
from the "$TOMCAT_HOME/jasper" directory. It has been reported that
Xerces 1.3.1 can be used in this fashion, but 2.x alpha releases
can not be.
* If you wish to use an XML parser (such as Xerces) in the WEB-INF/lib
directory of your web application, this should now be possible, because
of the modified JAXP 1.1 parser mentioned below.
WARNING: Tomcat 4.0 now ships with a modified version of the JAXP/1.1
(Final) "jaxp.jar" and "crimson.jar" files in the "jasper" subdirectory.
The "sealed" attribute has been removed from the manifest file for these
two JARs, to avoid "package sealing violation" errors that were caused by
them in a JDK 1.3 environment. You MUST NOT replace these files with a
different (or later) release of JAXP, unless that later release has had
the sealed attribute removed, or you will encounter "package sealing violation"
errors when trying to use a different XML parser in a web application.
---------------------
Tomcat 4.0 and Apache:
---------------------
The binary distribution for Tomcat 4.0 includes the most recent stable version
of the WARP connector, which is the Tomcat component that talks to mod_webapp
inside Apache 1.3. The current state of this support is summarized as follows:
* The mod_webapp connector is configured based on the contents of the
web.xml file for your web application. The only required per-webapp
configuration information in your Apache 1.3 httpd.conf file is
something like this:
WebAppMount examples warpConnection /examples/
which causes mod_webapp to automatically recognize all of your servlet
mappings, security constraints, and other configuration elements.
* Currently, mod_webapp forwards *all* requests under the specified
context path to Tomcat for processing. When Tomcat 4.0 final is released,
it will automatically configure itself to serve static resources
from Apache *unless* the resource is subject to filtering, or subject
to a security constraint, as defined in web.xml. No extra configuration
in httpd.conf will be required.
* With this release, FORM-based authentication will work correctly, but
there is a bug that prevents BASIC authentication from operating. This
will be addressed before final release.
* If you restart Tomcat, you must also restart Apache to avoid receiving
"Error 400 - Bad Request" errors. This will be handled transparently
in the final release.
* The combination of Apache+Tomcat currently passes all spec validation
tests in the "jakarta-watchdog-4.0" suite.
* There are several test failures in the "tester" unit test suite that will
be corrected before final release. (Most of these issues related to the
bug that prevents BASIC authentication form operating.)
