Intrepid SRU Report Bug impact: Tomcat 6 currently points to a default DBCP factory class that isn't provided in the package (org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory). That makes all web applications that don't specify a DBCP factory class fail. We provide org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory to that effect, so Tomcat 6 should use that class by default.
Versions affected: Intrepid (tomcat6 didn't exist before) Fix in development branch: Was fixed in 6.0.18-0ubuntu4 (see comment 10) Minimal patch: see comment 12 above. The patch does the same thing the Tomcat 5.5 package always did, and fixes the shipped documentation accordingly. If accepted, this will be released as a combined SRU with bug 294277. TEST CASE $ Get the two attached files (test-dbcp.tar and test-dbcp.xml) $ sudo apt-get install tomcat6-examples $ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 stop $ cd /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps && sudo tar xvf ~/test-dbcp.tar $ sudo cp ~/test-dbcp.xml /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost $ sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start let a few seconds pass, then access http://localhost:8080/test-dbcp With an unpatched Tomcat 6 you get an exception page, with root cause: javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not create resource factory instance [Root exception is java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp)] This shows you're trying to access the (not provided) org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp package With a patched Tomcat6 you get the JSP ("Sample Application JSP Page") displayed correctly. Regression potential: People that downloaded tomcat-dbcp.jar (which contains the missing org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory) from the ASF website as a workaround to this bug might, after this update, use org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory instead. This shouldn't trigger any issue since the two factories should act the same. ** Attachment added: "test-dbcp.tar" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20344691/test-dbcp.tar -- tomcat6 does not include tomcat-dbcp.jar https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat6 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
