           Summary: Tomcat 6 invoker no longer loads unless privileged
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.14
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jpetrula@hotmail.com


Unfortunately, the Tomcat FAQ
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#evil
does not mention up front that the Tomcat 6 invoker no longer loads unless
privileged.

It is not until you read the article
The Long and Sordid Tale of the Invoker Servlet
http://faq.javaranch.com/java/InvokerServlet
that this is stated.

The Tomcat FAQ
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#evil
needs to explicitly state that the Tomcat 6 invoker no longer loads unless
privileged. It should also state the procedure to make it privileged.

Although the Tomcat FAQ
http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/misc.html#evil
strongly warns against using the invoker,
it is useful for developmental purposes since many textbook examples use it.

The FAQs are now on the wiki so you are free to add this using your preferred
wording.

I am marking this as FIXED since this seems the most appropriate resolution.
