News : Tomcat 4.0 Beta 2 released
March 30, 2001

Tomcat 4.0 beta 2 of the next generation servlet container has been released.

Tomcat 4.0 beta 2 has many new features, including:

  • Tomcat 4.0 can now run web applications out of an unpacked directory or directly from a WAR file.
  • Web applications are now run under the control of a Java SecurityManager that can support fine-grained control over each web-app's access to system resources.
  • You can now specify a element in the server configuration file (server.xml) that defines default configuration information for contexts that are automatically configured.
  • An example Filter implementation that supports on-the-fly GZIP compression for clients that support it.
  • A servlet that implements all of the NCSA documented functionality for server side includes (*.shtml) except for the "exec" capability.
  • Standard resource factories for JavaMail related resources accessible via a JNDI InitialContext, compatible with J2EE Specification requirements.
  • Reflects the most up-to-date changes in the Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 APIs that have been approved by the JSR-053 expert group, and will appear in the next published version of the corresponding specifications.

In addition, the following major bug fixes are included:

  • Fixes for two reported security vulnerabilities (a "cross site scripting vulnerability" plus a "URL decoding vulnerability")
  • The JSP servlet (Jasper) that compiles and executes JSP pages now uses its own classloader its associated XML parser, which avoids potential conflicts with parsers included with a web application.
  • Bug fix updates for directory listings, the WebDAV support, binding to a single IP address (if requested), incorrectly named access log files, URL decoding improvements, form-based authentication, HTTP/1.1 chunking, isUserInRole(), JSP page parsing problems, and many other patches.

See the Tomcat 4.0 Beta 2 Release Notes (RELEASE-NOTES-4.0-B2.txt) that are included in the top-level directory of the release for more detailed information.
