Strange crash-on-takeoff, Tomcat 7.0.104
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In preparation for updating a customer box, I installed Tomcat 7.0.104
on our own AS/400 (64-bit Java 6 JVM).
7.0.93 works just fine on our box, but 7.0.104 seems to crash on
takeoff, producing no log files, just a spool file consisting of the
single line
*-D
Any idea what could be going wrong?

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The same customer installation that required 104 (but with the 103
catalina.sh, to avoid Bug 64501) back in June is now demanding an update
to 106 because of the CVE-2020-13935 vulnerability.
Two questions:
1. Is the problem from June fixed in 106?
2. Does 106 take care of CVE-2020-13935?

Where would I find "the latest version from source control"?

7.0.105 hasn't been released yet. You can use catalina.sh from 7.0 103 or the latest version from source control. Either should be fine.

Right. The release process hasn't yet started for .105 but you could
probably look at the patches and adapt them locally.

Hmm. I'm now looking through the entire catalina.sh script in both
versions. (First, I looked through the startup.sh script; that appears
to be identical in both versions.)
First thing I noticed was that a few new environment variables were
listed in the documentation section at the top.
Second thing I noticed was the section beginning

This looks an awful lot like what's in the Bugzilla page. And I see that
it is "Fixed in . . . 7.0.105 onwards."
But the download page for 7 is still at 7.0.104.

Unless something weird is going on with the apache-tomcat-7.0.104.zip
file, it appears that all the authorities match between old and new
versions.
> b) are you using the same Java instance for both TC's ?
Normally, for native-command-line launches, or launches from native CL
programs (like shell scripts, only compiled), we have a CL program
("STRTOMCAT") that does a fair amount of advance setup, selects the
first available JVM from a preference list, and then QShell's out
startup.sh as a batch job. This CL program expects Tomcat to be in a
particular place in the file system, in a directory called "tomcat." So
to switch to a new Tomcat server, I shut the current one down, rename
the current "tomcat" directory to something else (e.g., "tomcat93"), and
rename the "apache-tomcat-7.0.104" directory to "tomcat" before starting
it with STRTOMCAT.
So it would *have* to be the same JVM, because that's explicitly
selected by the STRTOMCAT CL program.

Thanks.
a) it's worth asking the obvious ... are the file permissions correct for
the new TCp installation, i.e , such as read/write in "logs" subdir and
execute permissions for the TC scripts?
b) are you using the same Java instance for both TC's ?

No.
We've done this procedure before: installing a new version, doing the
setup in the new version, then shutting down the old version, renaming
both the old and the new versions (so things are where they're expected
to be), and starting up.

.
b) if yes, is the 7.0.93 instance running when you launch the 7.0.104
instance?

Remember, we're talking about IBM Midrange systems, not *nix. So bash is
entirely unknown to the OS; instead, startup.sh calls catalina.sh, with
everything running under "QShell," a Linux-like front-end that was
provided with Java.

Unfortunately, QShell doesn't appear to have anyplace to put "-x" as a
parameter.
But it does appear to support "set -x" at the QShell command line. If I
do that, then I get:

Well, it comes with the territory of running Tomcat on AS/400s, I
suppose. I'm thinking I should bring in the Java list over at
Midrange.com as well.

What's the name of the file
My guess is that the system-property-setting part of catalina.sh (or
some other script) is getting fouled-up. What script(s) are you
running to start Tomcat?
If it's just catalina.sh, try running it like this:
$ bash -x $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh
This will echo every command run to the console before running it,
including all expanded arguments and all that stuff. Most likely, the
last command run will (a) be the one which is interesting and (b) will
be clear from the command what went wrong.
