Weirdness with Tomcat 5.5.17, j_security_check and favicon.ico
Hello Everyone,
I have just installed a clean server with windows 2003 Standard, Java
JDK 1.5.0_06 and tomcat 5.5.17. I moved my application that I created
on tomcat 5.0 to this server and set the application up as a <host>
site.
When I access the site, it asks for the user name and password (normally
done). But after you are successfully authenticated, it goes to a 404
cannot find favicon.ico. So I googled and found that was an issue with
Firefox, so I tried IE and I can get into the application. But now, when
I put a favicon.ico in the applications root and I log in. With Firefox,
right after I log in, I get a page that displays my favicon.ico, but it
never gets to my index.jsp. I have to go to the url and delete the
/favicon.ico and hit enter and then I'm into the application. In IE,
after I log in, it takes me to my application, but it doesn't show the
favicon.ico in the address bar.
Has anyone else experienced this or could you point me to another
posting that shows how this was resolved. I thank you in advance for any
advice I can get.
Respectfully,
Dean Searle

Hey! That worked out. I changed my url-pattern to just *.jsp and now my favicon works correctly and entry into my application works seemlessly.
Thank you very much!

URL pattern matching is VERY limited in J2EE standard, it is basically
either prefix matching like
/something/*
or suffix matching like
*.jsp
Patterns like /something/*.jsp are not supported

Konstantin,
Thank you very much for replying so quickly.
Is there any way around that? I've tried changing the <url-pattern> from /* to /*.jsp but I get 'Invalid <url-pattern> /*.jsp in security constraint' in my catalina log file. I've tried looking for resources to explain the <url-pattern> usage, but have not found much that helps out.
Thank you in advance!

That is most likely due to security constraints URL in your web.xml
It looks like all your resources are protected and when browser tries to
access favicon before anything else server sees it as protected resource and
displays login form, and then let the request proceed to the favicon once
user provided credentials.
