[Proposal] Tomcat 3.2b8
Thanks for all the bug reports on 3.2b7! We've been so successful at
identifying remaining bugs that I'd like to propose we do at least one more beta
cycle (3.2b8) before calling it good. We need to make sure that we didn't
introduce any regression errors with all the bug fixes -- and we need to resolve
the JSP issues that Larry raised this morning.
I propose to do a 3.2b8 build on Monday afternoon (which should give us time to
address the remaining b7 issues that I know about). What do you think?

I haven't personally used this, but I've heard other people say that they have it
working.

I will look into this issue.

I agree it should be documented. But it's not going to be documented by me.
I've already spent the large majority of the last two weeks picking up the pieces on
critical bug fixes for 3.2, and there are not enough cycles to worry about docs as
well.
There are 34 committers on Tomcat (including Glenn, hint hint :-), of which probably
half are still at least peripherally involved with the project. Anyone who wants to
is welcome to commit documentation updates for 3.2 (in the "tomcat_32" branch), or I'd
be happy to commit updates for any non-committers that want to contribute them.

Tomcat 3.2 has a <host> config in server.xml for configuring
multiple web server vitual hosts in a single Tomcat instance.
I have been testing the <host> config option in server.xml.
I had not tested that option to this point. I have not had
any success getting it to work. (Haven't looked at the code yet)
While testing this I ran across an annoying bug in tomcat.
It goes into an infinite loop trying to resolve what Context a
request is for, perhaps it should return a 404 if it can't
resolve the request to a Context. This happens when you do
an ApJServMount of a request path that does not exactly match
the Context path on the tomcat side.
Has anyone else tested the <host> config? Its not in the 3.2
docs. Is this something that should be documented and working
for 3.2?
Regards,
Glenn
