more trouble with 5.5.16+

[Corey Kaiser <co...@altrec.com>]

Hi,
When I started my project, Tomcat 5.5.15 was the current Tomcat version, so
naturally I chose that as a jumping off point.
I've managed to shoehorn our collection of servlets and code into an Apache
+ mod_jk + Tomcat environment, and it works beautifully with Tomcat 5.5.15.
Since 5.5.16 and 5.5.17 beta had been released, it seemed like a good idea
to try those with my configuration, and have had nothing but headaches,
including:

- Tomcat takes significantly longer to start up, and opens many more files
while doing so, requiring an increase in the open files ulimit. 5.5.15 takes
~7secs to start --  5.5.16+ takes between 35 and 45 seconds.

- JSPs only work in the root of my webapp, regardless of how I configure the
web.xml or my JkMounts in Apache, and if they're placed anywhere else, I get
a Tomcat 404 error page (the blue and white one), in spite of having working
404 page definitions in Apache and Tomcat. Mostly I am doing JSP includes of
servlet URLs and have enabled the crossContext attribute in my
configuration. I can elaborate on this if necessary.

- a servlet using the Barbecue barcode package now magically crashes the JVM
and Tomcat, leaving a hs_errPID.log. This servlet is currently in production
and is stable and performant on another servlet container, and runs even
better on the 5.5.15 setup.


5.5.17 beta exhibits all of the same issues as 5.5.16.
5.5.12 works just as great as 5.5.15.

I'm running CentOS 4.3, Java 1.5.0_06, Apache 1.3.34, mod_jk 1.2.15.
Is there any big change that occured between 5.5.15 and 5.5.16 with regard
to EL that I'm missing?

Any, and I mean any help appreciated.
Corey

The differences between 5.5.15 and 5.5.16+ are fairly safe looking
bugfixes (especially in Jasper, the changes are nearly non existent).
IMO, you are having some setup problem causing this.

You can see the changelog here:
