[Bug 60820] New: ClassCastException in method request.getParameter

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60820

            Bug ID: 60820
           Summary: ClassCastException in method request.getParameter
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.38
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: vivek_nadar@yahoo.co.in
  Target Milestone: ----

Hi, 

We are getting the following exception stacktrace while calling getParameter
method in servlet request object,

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
[Ljava.lang.String; at
org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.getParameter(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:371)
at
javax.servlet.ServletRequestWrapper.getParameter(ServletRequestWrapper.java:153)

Seeing the source code for tomcat 8.0.38 we see some changes to the
getParameter method. When the catalina code is doing parameter.get(name) the
return value is a String which is being taken in a String[] I see the
parseParameter() method call before this but is this a case that method fails
for some scenarios? The query parameter for which it is failing in
p=<someSimpleContiniousString> which in any case is not an Array. Please note,
we are running our application in liferay 6.2.14 and tomcat 8.0.38 in jdk 8.

--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
The parameter map is Map<String,String[]> and if Tomcat was coded to put
anything other than String[] into the Map we'd see a compilation error - which
we don't.

The parameter map should be immutable but there are circumstances (bug 60808)
in which it can be manipulated.

It you can provide a simple test case that demonstrates this (it should be
possible with a single Servlet or JSP) then please feel free to re-open this
and provide that test case. If not, you may want to consider approaching
Liferay.
