Tomcat 4.1.27 hotfix - how to install

Hello,

I have installed Tomcat 4.1.27 on a Win2k server, and found the hotfix in
the archives that fixes bug # 22096
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22096).

My problem is that I don't know where to put the StandardContext.class file
that is within the zip file.

I have looked for instructions on how to deploy it by searching the entire
Jakarta website and I could not find it. I have also searched for
instructions within the mail archives for this list found in the mikal.org
website, without success.

I would greatly appreciate any tips that would point me in the right
direction.

Thank you for your time.


Best regards,
Jose P. Gisone

i applied the fix on a linux system. It came in a .tar.gz archive which
showed most of the path:

> -rw-r--r-- remm/mkpasswd 51691 2003-08-05 11:39:30 server/classes/org/apache/catalina/core/StandardContext.class

i unpacked it in the tomcat4 directory. The full path on this system is
/var/lib/tomcat4/server/classes/org/apache/catalina/core/StandardContext.class

It's fairly easy. If you unzip (I presume you're on Windows) the hotfix
it shows that the file is in path
server/classes/org/apache/catalina/core, right? Just unpack it to
%CATALINA_HOME%. There is also a server/classes directory. The
org/apache/etc. subdirs will usually be created automatically.
StandardContext.class is actually part of catalina.jar in
%CATALINA_HOME%/server/lib. Since the classloader searches the classes
directory first the old StandardContext.class will simply be ignored.

Regards,
Marcel

David,

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I cannot use version 4.1.30,
since versions 4.1.27 and 4.0.6 are the only two Tomcat versions supported
by the vendor of another software application.

I am moving ahead with 4.0.6 at this time (so far with decent results),
while I try to find out from the vendor if they believe the hotfix is
necessary while using 4.1.27. If they do, I will try to find out more
information about how to apply the hotfix at that time.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Best,
JPG.

Instead of applying the hotfix, you should wait a few days and upgrade
to 4.1.30.

Also, unless you're having any problems with Tomcat, there is no real
need to apply the hotfix.  IIRC, the hotfix fixes a context reloading bug.
