DO NOT REPLY [Bug 49436] New: Cannot use JMX to save changes to tomcat-users.xml

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49436

           Summary: Cannot use JMX to save changes to tomcat-users.xml
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: david.tugby@sky.com


In version 6.0.26 org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase sets readonly =
true. In version 5.5.29 org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase sets
readonly = false. This means that the save method will default to logging an
error message rather than saving the user database file.

    public void save()
        throws Exception
    {
        if(getReadonly())
        {
            log.error(sm.getString("memoryUserDatabase.readOnly"));
            return;
        }

The message that is displayed in 6.0.26 is:
memoryUserDatabase.readOnly=User database has been configured to be read only.
Changes cannot be saved

I cannot find any documentation or a JMX management bean to set readonly =
false.
Hence the save method I was using in Tomcat 5.0.28 and tomcat 5.5.29 no longer
works.

Thanks. 

Got this working by pasting the entire entry from
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#UserDatabase%20Resources
into my server.xml file. So I must have entered a typo when I tried earlier.

The documentation is not quite correct however.
tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html states
"The readonly attribute is optional and defaults to false if not supplied."

In my humble opionion this should be changed to:
"The readonly attribute is optional and defaults to true if not supplied."

Thanks again for the prompt response.
