<h3>9 October 2002 - Tomcat 4.0.6 Released.</h3>
</a>
<p>
A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in Apache Tomcat
4.0.x releases (including Tomcat 4.0.5), which allows to use a specially
crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under
special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been
protected by security constraint, without the need for being properly
authenticated. This is based on a variant of the exploit that was
disclosed on 09/24/2002.
</p>
<p>
<b>Who is vulnerable</b>
<ul>
<li>All Tomcat 4.0.x releases, except those in which the invoker servlet
is disabled (this is not the default setting).</li>
<li>All Tomcat 4.1.x releases before 4.1.12, except those in which the
invoker servlet is disabled (this is not the default setting), as
well as 4.1.12 if and only if the invoker servlet has been enabled.
The default Tomcat 4.1.12 installation is not vulnerable.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<b>Fixes and workarounds</b>(doing either of the following can be use as a
workaround for the security problem)
<ul>
<li>Disabling the invoker servlet: In the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file (on
Windows, %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\web.xml), comment out or remove the following
XML fragment:
<br/>
<code>
<servlet-mapping><br/>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name><br/>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern><br/>
</servlet-mapping>
</code>
</li>
<li> If running any Tomcat 4.0.x releases, download and install the
following <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.5/bin/hotfix/13365.zip">binary patch</a>.
Simply unzip the archive in the $CATALINA_HOME folder (on Windows
%CATALINA_HOME%). Make sure paths are preserved when unzipping. The
patch will overwrite the default webapp configuration file
($CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml) to add a workaround to protect
against the security vulnerability.
</li>
<li> If running Tomcat 4.1.12 and the invoker servlet was enabled, it must
be disabled at this time. A new Tomcat 4.1.x release incorporating
the fix to the invoker servlet will be made available shortly.
</li>
<li> If running any Tomcat 4.0.x release, download and install Tomcat 4.0.6.
Binary and source distributions for Apache Tomcat 4.0.5 are available
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.6/">here</a>.

<h3>24 September 2002 - Security updates: Tomcat 4.1.12 Stable and Tomcat 4.0.5 Released</h3>
</a>
<p>
A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in all Apache Tomcat
4.x versions (including Tomcat 4.0.4 and Tomcat 4.1.10), which allows to use
a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or
under special circumstances a static resource which would otherwise have been
protected by security constraint, without the need of being properly
authenticated.
<br/><br/>
Using the invoker servlet in conjunction with the default servlet
(responsible for handling static content in Tomcat) triggers this
vulnerability. This particular configuration is available in the default
Tomcat configuration. An easy workaround exists for existing Tomcat
installation, by disabling the invoker servlet in the default webapp
configuration.
<br/><br/>
In the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml file (on Windows, %CATALINA_HOME%\conf\web.xml), comment out or remove the following XML fragment:
<br/>
<code>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</code>

<h3>07 May 2002 - Torque 3.0 beta 2</h3>
<p>
The Torque team is proud to announce the release of Torque 3.0 beta 2.
Changes in 3.0 beta 2 consist mostly of cross database compatible SQL
generation, query API enhancements, and miscellaneous bug fixes.
There was also a larger change which increases the Collections API
friendliness of Torque, and results in minor API incompatibilities for
those who were using implementation instead of interface to manipulate
the collections returned by Torque. Reported speed improvements from
use of the non-sync'd ArrayList implementation have been impressive,
and general API interoperability has been increased significantly.

<p>The second real "release candidate" for <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi">POI</a> is out. 1.5 is SOOOO close we can TASTE that POI right on our tounges. This release candidate fixes a few annoying and relatively minor (but serious enough) bugs. And in preparation for a production-level release the experimental formula support is disabled. So get it while its HOT and help test it so we can feed the world fresh and delicious POI! (unless of course they like it fermented -- we aim to please)
</p>
<p>In other news, formula support has started in the 2.0 branch and is well under way. So if you like putting =1+2 in your spreadsheets then you'll be all set. Hopefully cell references will appear soon for those of you with slightly more sophisticated tastes. So what's the best way to speed things along? Why its simple, join the mail lists and contribute, submit bug reports, send in patches, if you see a nail sticking up pick up a hammer. We're always looking for voluteers. A special thanks goes out to Avik Sengupta who is the primary author of the current formula support and to Libin Roman who submitted Named Ranges support. You guys rock!

<p>
In addition you'll notice the change in name from <code>Jakarta-cactus-22|23-1.2.zip</code>
to <code>Jakarta-cactus-12|13-1.3.zip</code>. This is because Cactus is growing and is
expected to target J2EE and not only the Servlet API (thus 1.2 and 1.3 represent the
J2EE API - which encompass Servlet API 2.2 and 2.3). The

Microsystems to Allow Open Source Java Implementations</h3>
<p>
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) today announced that it has reached
an <a href="jspa-agreement.html"><strong>agreement</strong></a> with Sun Microsystems and members of the Java Community
Process (JCP) to secure the basic right to implement Java specifications
in open source. This is the result of extended dialog over the past
year. Sun has pledged to use licenses that enable open source
independent implementations for all its Java specifications and Test
Compatibility Kits. Sun has pledged this for all future Sun-led Java
specifications as well as key specifications already released.
</p>
<p>
"It gives us great pleasure to have served the interests of the wider
open source community, largely made up of individuals and small groups
who may not have the resources and visibility to establish this level
of dialog," said Jason Hunter, ASF Vice-President, Java Community
Process. "To satisfy this trust, the ASF will be closely monitoring
the implementation details of the contents of this agreement to ensure
the gains represented by this agreement are not lost."
</p>
<p>
"We believe, properly implemented, these changes will fertilize the
growing open source Java community, resulting in wider adoption of
Java technologies. We also strongly believe the wider availability of
Test Compatibility Kits and the existence of solid open source Java
specification implementations will serve to improve and enhance Java's
compatibility," explained Hunter.

<h3>13 March 2002 - JSPA Passes; But Even YES Votes Want Open Source Issues Addressed.</h3>
</a>
<p>
<a href="http://jcp.org/jsr/results/99-7-1.jsp">The
results from the JSR-99 vote are in</a>. If one only
looks at the results, it would appear as though we
'lost' our battle and that Sun and others have locked
Open Source out of Java. However, if one digs a bit
deeper and reads the comments from the various vendors,
which they submitted with their votes, it becomes clear
that Apache's stance on an open and fair licensing
scheme for developing Java standards is shared by many
major corporations, including IBM (<strong>WHO VOTED NO</strong> on the draft JSPA)...
</p>
<source>
IBM has consistently worked within the Java Community
Process since its very inception to create a truly open
environment with a level playing field where no single
vendor has the ability to exert unnecessary control over
Java technologies for their own proprietary advantage.
While the current draft of the JSPA is an improvement over
prior agreements, we believe we should do more to guarantee
specifications, implementations and test suites developed
under this agreement will be developed with a broader view
of Java communities in mind, and to guarantee they are
licensed under terms and conditions that allow the
widespread adoption of compliant Java technologies. The JSPA
amendments proposed under JSR 99 do not provide these
guarantees.
IBM has always believed it is absolutely critical the Java
community include Apache as well as the rest of the open
source community in order to ensure the long term health and
competitive vitality of the Java environment. As a result,
IBM is fully supportive of the open source community's need
for Sun resolve all the issues raised by Apache at *
directly and unambiguously in the JSPA agreement itself.

<h3>1 March 2002 - Tomcat 4.0.3 Released</h3>
</a>
<p>
This release fixes a security vulnerability affecting the use of the request
dispatcher, which could allow in some rare cases a remote attacker to read
files anywhere on the server filesystem. It also provides a way
for malicious servlets or JSP to bypass the Security Manager sandbox.

<h3>31 January 2002 - Avalon Framework 4.1.2 Released</h3>
</a>
<p>The Avalon team is proud to announce the 4.1.2 final release
of the Avalon Framework.</p>
<p>
<b>About Avalon:</b>
The Avalon project is Apache's Java Server Framework. It is
separated into five sub projects: Framework, Excalibur, LogKit,
Cornerstone, and Phoenix. Its purpose is to simplify
server side programming for Java based projects. It
formalizes serveral best of breed practices and patterns for
server side programming.
<p>For more information about Avalon, please go to
<a href="http://avalon.apache.org">http://avalon.apache.org</a>.</p>
</p>
<p>
<b>About Avalon Framework 4.1.2:</b>
The Avalon Framework formalizes the contracts and patterns used in the
other Avalon projects. It is derived from modern software engineering
techniques and aims to provide a solid basis on which to build server
products.
<p>
What that means is that we define the central interface Component. We
also define the relationship (contract) a component has with peers,
ancestors and children. This documentation introduces you to those
patterns, interfaces, and relationships.
</p>
<p>
The Avalon Framework raises the abstraction level from Object-Oriented
Programming concept one notch to the Component-Oriented Programming
model. This enables programmers to concern themselves with assemblies
of classes, rather than the classes themselves--thus reducing the
number of things the programmer must keep in mind, and speeding up
application development.
</p>
<p>
The Avalon Framework is already used in
<a href="http://cocoon.apache.org">Cocoon</a>, an XML
publishing framework. The Avalon Framework is also used in
<a href="http://james.apache.org">Apache JAMES</a>, a
Java(tm) Mail Server. Another project that is built on Avalon Framework
is <a href="http://www.jesktop.com">Jestkop</a>, a cross-platform
replacement for your ordinary desktop. If you are evaluating Avalon
and want the proof that it's claims are valid check them out.

<h3>30 January 2002 - That flaming fireball in the sky...</h3>
</a>
<p>
In a recent <a
href="http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=SunInterview"
>article</a>, Karen Tegan, Director of J2EE Compatibility and Platform
Services for Sun Microsystems, had the following to say:
</p>
<p>
"The J2EE Compatible brand has achieved significant momentum over the
past two years, and we want to make sure that any open source efforts
don't impact the viability of that effort."
</p>
<p>
In other words, Sun doesn't give a hoot about whether J2EE licensing
restricts open source J2EE products (in case you missed it, it does).
Thus, the Apache Software Foundation's involvement in the Java Community
Process (JCP) is simply an advertising statement for Sun to claim that
they have a 'vision which uses open standards and non-proprietary
interfaces'. If you would like to express your opinions of Sun's
licensing terms, feel free to contact <a

think. Thanks.

<h3>14 January 2002 - Apache Tomcat 3.3 Updated to 3.3a</h3>
<p><b>Important Notice:</b> The Tomcat 3.3 release has been updated to
3.3a to deal with a DOS vulnerability on Windows systems. The
vulnerability allows a special HTTP request to hang and never complete.
This prevents the thread handling the request from handling any further requests
until Tomcat is restarted. Other systems are not affected, and both
Tomcat 3.2.x and Tomcat 4.x do not have this vunerability.</p>
