Hi,
We are currently upgrading our Tomcat from 5.5.23 to 7.0.32. The primary hurdle we are facing is with missing files(jsp), which Tomcat 5.5.23 used to tolerate. When it encounters a page that tries to include a file that is missing (Missing because the file needs to be loaded only conditionally - like for specific locales) it throws the following error: org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception javax.servlet.ServletException: File "/application/MyInclude.jsp" not found at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.handleMissingResource(JspServlet.ja va:412) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:379) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:334) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Applica tionFilterChain.java:305) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilt erChain.java:210) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.invoke(ApplicationDispatc her.java:749) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doInclude(ApplicationDisp atcher.java:605) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.include(ApplicationDispat cher.java:544) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspRuntimeLibrary.include(JspRuntimeLibrary.ja va:954) We have many such files and updating all the relevant files to correct this seems to be practically impossible. Is there a way to turn off this STRICT validation in the Tomcat, so that it tolerates the missing files?
