   Manager/Session:  Refactor to eliminate dependencies by StandardManager,
   ManagerBase, and StandardSession on each other.
   
  +Realms:  Refactor MemoryRealm and JDBCRealm so that common code is in a
  +shared base class.  Add JNDIRealm for accessing users and roles stored in
  +a directory server.
  +
  +Stores:  Refactor code that is common to Store implementations (and Manager
  +implementation) into a new StoreBase base class.  Complete implementation of
  +FileStore and add JDBCStore to store session state information in a database
  +accessed via JDBC.
  +
  +Proxy Support:  Improve support for running Tomcat 4.0 behind a proxy server
  +(or an instance of Apache that forwards requests via the mod_proxy module)
  +by allowing you to configure the server name and port that a Connector reports
  +to something other than the server name and port that the connector itself is
  +listening on.
  +
  +Servlet 2.3 Proposed Final Draft 2:  Implement the API and functionality
  +changes of the Servlet Specification, Version 2.3, Proposed Final Draft 2:
  +- Implement revised algorithm for looking up error pages.
  +- Calling setAttribute("name", null) has the same effect as calling
  +  removeAttribute("name") on ServletRequest, HttpSession, and ServletContext.
  +- If a servlet calls request.getSession(true) with no current session, and
  +  the response has already been committed, and we are using cookies for session
  +  id tracking, throw IllegalStateException because there is no way the client
  +  could ever find out about this session.

   Jasper New Features:
   -------------------
   
  +JSP 1.2 Proposed Final Draft 2:  Implement the API and functionality changes
  +of the JavaServer Pages Specification, Version 1.2, Proposed Final Draft 2:
  +- The new URI for the "jsp" namespace is "http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page".
  +- Changed <jsp:cdata> to <jsp:text>.
  +- Added a mandatory "version" attribute to <jsp:root>.
  +- Removed the DOCTYPE declaration from the generated XML view.
  +- It is now legal to assign a String literal to a custom tag property
  +  of type Object.
  +- When an action has no body, the methods related to body manipulation
  +  (setBodyContent(), doInitBody(), and doAfterBody()) are *not* invoked.
  +  A body of whitespace is significant in JSP syntax, but not in XML syntax.

   Changed the Java SecurityManager implementation to allow finer control
   when setting security policies for a web application.  See the updated
   catalina.policy file for example usage.
   
  +HttpConnector:  Rearrange how shutdown occurs so that trying to reopen the
  +server socket (inside the IOException catch in run()) does not throw
  +NullPointerException.
  +
  +ContainerBase:  Fix a "container not started" exception at shutdown time,
  +caused by an attempt to stop Contexts associated with a Host twice.
  +
  +JDBCRealm: Digest should be called on user credentials, not on what is
  +picked up from the database.
  +
  +WebdavServlet:  Tighten security checks to prohibit MKCOL from modifying
  +WEB-INF or META-INF if read/write mode is enabled (it is disabled by default).
  +
  +StandardContext:  Rearrange processing in reload() so that the directory
  +context URLStreamHandler is recreated and bound before the Manager is
  +reinitialized.  This makes it possible to reload session attributes whose
  +classes are only found in the web app's class loader.
  +
  +Catalina:  Restore recognition of <Logger>, <Realm>, and <Valve> elements

  +is really immutable.

  +HttpRequestBase:  ServletRequest.getCharacterEncoding() must return null if
  +no character encoding was included with the request.  If you call getReader()

  +
  +StandardContext:  If a <load-on-startup> servlet throws ServletException or
  +UnavailableException from it's init() method, this should make *only* the

  +property was sometimes getting set to the wrong attribute.

  +TagBeginGenerator:  Remove runtime error message if EVAL_BODY_INCLUDE is

  +XmlOutputter:  Make the XML output consistent with the DTD -- the spec was
  +inconsistent.

  +TagBeginGenerator:  Use QName instead of LocalName to match element values.
