             Summary: A potential coding flaw makes scan jar fail without any error or exception
                 Key: GERONIMO-6534
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-6534
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: Tomcat
    Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-1, 3.0.0, 3.0-M1, 2.2.1, 2.1.8
            Reporter: xiezhi
            Priority: Minor


The method ScanJar and ScanJars are from GeronimoTldLocationsCache.java. I think it has not been well thought out. The error or exception which raised in scanning entry files should not be past. I actually met a problem when failed to get uri from a tld file because of some validation reason. There is no exception or any other error message. It took a lot of time to find the root cause in debug model.
I think it is not a good practice to ignore the exceptions here.

    /**
     * Scans the given JarURLConnection for TLD files located in META-INF
     * (or a subdirectory of it), adding an implicit map entry to the taglib
     * map for any TLD that has a <uri> element.
     *
     * @param conn The JarURLConnection to the JAR file to scan
     * @param ignore true if any exceptions raised when processing the given
     * JAR should be ignored, false otherwise
