Hi,

One thing that you've go on your side, as far as isolating the problem
is concerned, is that Tomcat is a busy project and has thousands of
users. If it had a bug that caused it to miss or drop form parameters
hundreds or thousands of apps would be breaking right now and this, the
dev list, and bugzilla would be getting flooded with reports.
I absolutely agree with you. It's the exact same line of reasoning that
went on during our internal discussions about this problem.
However, the thing is that by far not all post parameters are dropped. I
happened to stumble about it at first when inspecting the log files
manually for some other problems. There was a log line that showed an
empty post was done, for a page of which I knew this was impossible. I
did some grepping on the logs and discovered a few hundred of occasions
where it happened. Between thousands upon thousands of requests
something like this might go unnoticed for a long time.
When post parameters are dropped, most users would either see nothing
happening and simply click again, or some error page comes up, they use
the back button and click again.
The fact that they're not, is a pretty good indicator telling you that
the problem is not with Tomcat. If it is a problem with Tomcat, you're
doing something very rare to get this bug to surface.
Indeed. I wonder what that could be. We're running on a quad core
server. Maybe it's some race condition?
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
