(markt) 58751: Correctly handle the case where an AsyncListener dispatches to a Servlet on an asynchronous timeout and the Servlet uses sendError() to trigger an error page. Includes a test case based on code provided by Andy Wilkinson.(markt) 58765: Change default for mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled to true since this is required for correct session management because of the default for sessionCookiePathUsesTrailingSlash. (markt) Add the StatusManagerServlet to the list of Servlets that can only be loaded by privileged applications. (markt) Simplify code and fix messages in org.apache.catalina.core.DefaultInstanceManager class. (kkolinko) Ensure that the proper file encoding if specified will be used when a readme file is served by DefaultServlet.

(kkolinko) 58768: Log a warning if a redirect fails because of an invalid location. (markt) 58836: Correctly merge query string parameters when processing a forwarded request where the target includes a query string that contains a parameter with no value. (markt/kkolinko) Make sure that shared Digester is reset in an unlikely error case in HostConfig.deployWAR(). (kkolinko) Fix a potential JDBC resource leak in DataSourceRealm. (schultz) 58900: Correctly undeploy symlinked resources and prevent an infinite cycle of deploy / undeploy. (markt) Protect initialization of ResourceLinkFactory when running with a SecurityManager. (kkolinko) Extend the feature available in the cluster session manager implementations that enables session attribute replication to be filtered bases on attribute name to all session manager implementations. Note that configuration attribute name has changed from sessionAttributeFilter to sessionAttributeNameFilter. Apply the filter on load as well as unload to ensure that configuration changes made while the web application is stopped are applied to any persisted data. (markt) Extend the session attribute filtering options to include filtering based on the implementation class of the value and optional WARN level logging if an attribute is filtered. These options are available for all of the Manager implementations that ship with Tomcat. When a SecurityManager is used filtering will be enabled by default. (markt) 58905: Ensure that Tomcat.silence() silences the correct logger and respects the current setting. (markt) 58946: Ensure that the request parameter map remains immutable when processing via a RequestDispatcher. (markt)

Coyote

New configuration option ajpFlush for the AJP connectors to disable the sending of AJP flush packets. (rjung)

Jasper

Fix handling of missing messages in org.apache.el.util.MessageFactory. (violetagg)

Cluster

In order to avoid that the heartbeat thread and the background thread to run Channel.heartbeat simultaneously, if heartbeatBackgroundEnabled of SimpleTcpCluster set to true, ensure that the heartbeat thread does not start. (kfujino)

WebSocket

57489: Ensure onClose() is called when a WebSocket connection is closed even if the sending of the close message fails. Includes test cases by Barry Coughlan. (markt) Fix a timing issue on session close that could result in an exception being thrown for an incomplete message even through the message was completed. (markt)

Web Applications

Correct some typos in the JNDI resources How-To. (markt) Don't create sessions unnecessarily in the Manager application. (markt) Don't create sessions unnecessarily in the Host Manager application. (markt) 58723: Clarify documentation and error messages for the text interface of the manager to make clear that version must be used with path when referencing contexts deployed using parallel deployment. (markt) Correct an error in the documentation of the expected behaviour for automatic deployment. If a WAR is updated and an expanded directory is present, the directory will always be deleted and recreated by expanding the WAR if unpackWARs is true. (markt) 58935: Remove incorrect references in the documentation to using jar:file: URLs with the Manager application. (markt)

Tribes

Add support for the startup notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino) Ignore the unnecessary member remove operation from different domain. (kfujino) Add support for the shutdown notification of local members in the static cluster. (kfujino) Ensure that asynchronous session replication thread is a daemon thread. (kfujino)

Update the NSIS Installer used to build the Windows Installers to version 2.50. (markt/kkolinko)

Catalina

56917: As per RFC7231 (HTTP/1.1), allow HTTP/1.1 and later redirects to use relative URIs. This is controlled by a new attribute useRelativeRedirects on the Context and defaults to true. (markt) 58660: Correct a regression in 7.0.66 caused by the change that moved the redirection for context roots from the Mapper to the Default Servlet. (markt) Fixed potential NPE in HostConfig while deploying an application. Issue reported by coverity scan. (violetagg) 58655: Fix an IllegalStateException when calling HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with the RemoteIpFilter. This was caused by trying to correctly generate the absolute URI for the redirect. With the fix for 56917, redirects may now be relative making the sendRedirect() implementation for the RemoteIpFilter much simpler. This also addresses issues where the redirect may not have behaved as expected when redirecting from http to https to from https to http. (markt)

WebSocket

58658: Correct a regression in 7.0.66 that prevented Tomcat from starting on Java 6 unless the WebSocket JARs (that require Java 7) were removed. (markt)

Web Applications

Add a description of the default value of heartbeatSleeptime attribute and optionCheck attribute in the cluster channel docs. (kfujino)

Tribes

Fix potential NPE in AbstractReplicatedMap.breakdown(). (kfujino)

Catalina

34319: Only load those keys in StoreBase.processExpire from JDBCStore, that are old enough, to be expired. Based on a patch by Tom Anderson. (fschumacher) 56777: Allow file based configuration resources (user database, certificate revocation lists, keystores and trust stores) to be configured using URLs as well as files. Back-port provided by Huxing Zhang. (markt/violetagg) 57741: Enable the CGI servlet to use the standard error page mechanism. Note that if the CGI servlet's debug init parameter is set to 10 or higher then the standard error page mechanism will be bypassed and a debug response generated by the CGI servlet will be returned instead. (markt) 58486: Protect against two further possible memory leaks associated with XML parsing. (markt) 58497: Make AbstractHttp11Processor easy to extend. (markt) 58508: Escape role names when generating associated MBeans in case the role name contains characters not permitted in an MBean name. (markt) 58522: Fixed concurrency issue when iterating web application's resources.

(violetagg) 58541, 58544: It is more efficient to call Integer.toString(int) instead of Integer.valueOf(int).toString() when only a string representation of a primitive is needed. Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg) 58541, 58547: It is more efficient to call valueOf(...) instead of Number constructor. Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg) 58545: In some use cases it is more efficient to use Map.entrySet() instead of Map.keySet() Based on a patch provided by Anthony Whitford. (violetagg) Add a new RestCsrfPreventionFilter that provides basic CSRF protection for REST APIs. (violetagg) 58581: If a custom error page fails, fall back to the standard error page rather than throwing an NPE. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt) 58582: Combined realm should perform background processing on its sub-realms. Based upon a patch provided by Aidan. (kkolinko) Handle the unlikely case where different versions of a web application are deployed with different session settings. (markt) Add a new Context option, enabled by default, that enables an additional check that a client provided session ID is in use in at least one other web application before allowing it to be used as the ID for a new session in the current web application. (markt) Add support for DIGEST authentication to the JNDIRealm. Based on a patch by Alexis Hassler. (markt) 58603: Ensure that HttpServletRequest.getRequestURL() returns the correct value when using the RemoteIpFilter. (markt) Ensure that in an embedded Tomcat the logging configuration is not lost during garbage collection. (violetagg) Move the functionality that provides redirects for context roots and directories where a trailing / is added from the Mapper to the DefaultServlet. This enables such requests to be processed by any configured Valves and Filters before the redirect is made. This behaviour is configurable via the mapperContextRootRedirectEnabled and mapperDirectoryRedirectEnabled attributes of the Context which may be used to restore the previous behaviour. (markt) 58635: Enable break points to be set within agent code when running Tomcat with a Java agent. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt) Add path parameter handling to HttpServletRequest.getContextPath(). This is a follow-up to the fix for 57215. (markt)

Jasper

57136#c25: Implement a setting that controls what quoting rule is used when parsing EL expressions in attributes on a JSP page (chapter JSP.1.6 of specification). The setting name is quoteAttributeEL and it is configured as initialisation parameter of JSP Servlet (per web application configuration is possible) and as a command line option for JspC. The default value was changed to true, which restores behaviour implemented in Tomcat 7.0.64. It means that attribute quoting is applied on top of EL quoting. This provides better compatibility with older versions of Tomcat and other implementations. (kkolinko)

Cluster

Optimize the session lock range in DeltaManager.requestCompleted. (kfujino) Enable an explicit configuration of local member in the static cluster membership. (kfujino) Fix potential integer overflow in DeltaSession. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)

Tribes

Distinguish the handling of the shutdown payload and member verification clearly. When handling shutdown payload, verification completion message is not required. (kfujino) When starting the StaticMembershipInterceptor, StaticMembershipInterceptor checks the required Interceptors. If the required Interceptor does not exist, it issues warning logs. (kfujino) Ensure that the static member is registered to the add suspect list even if the static member that is registered to the remove suspect list has disappeared. (kfujino) Correct the warning log of when the member that is not registered in the membership is detected. (kfujino) When using a static cluster, add the members that have been cached in the membership service to the map members list in order to ensure that the map member is a static member. (kfujino)

WebSocket

Use instance manager for server endpoint instances. (remm) 55006: The WebSocket client now honors the java.net.java.net.ProxySelector configuration (using the HTTP type) when establishing WebSocket connections to servers. Based on a patch by Niki Dokovski. (markt) 58624: Correct a thread safety issue that meant that blocking message writes could block indefinitely if the WebSocket connection was closed while a message write was in progress. (markt)

Web applications

Make it clear in the documentation for the CGI servlet that the debug page is not considered secure and should not be used in production. (markt) The domain attribute of StaticMember is not required but optional. (kfujino) 58631: Correct the continuation character use in the Windows Service How-To page of the documentation web application. (markt)

jdbc-pool

58489: Correct QueryStatsComparator to hold up the general contract for Comparator. (fschumacher) When creating a QueryStats object, ensure that maxQueries is checked. If maxQueries is a value less than or equal to 0, QueryStats are never created. (kfujino) Fix potential integer overflow in ConnectionPool and PooledConnection. Reported by coverity scan. (fschumacher)

Catalina

57681: Add a web application class loader implementation that supports the parallel loading of web application classes. Use of this feature requires a Java 7 or later JRE. Based on a patch by Huxing Zhang. (markt) 58187: Correct a regression in the fix for 57765 that meant that deployment of web applications deployed via the Manager application was delayed until the next execution of the automatic deployment background process. (markt) 58284: Correctly implement session serialization so non-serializable attributes are skipped with a warning. Patch provided by Andrew Shore. (markt) 58313: Fix concurrent access of encoders map when clearing encoders prior to switch to async. (markt) 58320: Fix concurrent access of request attributes which is possible during asynchronous processing. (markt) In preparation for implementing enhancement 57681, replace the use of the StandardClassLoader with URLClassLoader. This removes the server class loader from JMX. (markt) 58352: Always trigger a thread dump if Tomcat fails to stop gracefully from catalina.sh even if using -force. Patch provided by Alexandre Garnier. (markt) 58416: Correctly detect when a forced stop fails to stop Tomcat because the Tomcat process is waiting on some system call or is uninterruptible. (markt) 58436: Fix some rare data races in JULI's ClassLoaderLogManager during shutdown. (markt)

Coyote

Correct some edge cases in RequestUtil.normalize(). (markt) 58275: The IBM JREs accept cipher suite names starting with TLS_ or SSL_ but when listing the supported cipher suites only the SSL_ version is reported. This can break Tomcat's check that at least one requested cipher suite is supported. Tomcat now includes a work-around so either form of the cipher suite name can be used when running on an IBM JRE. (markt) 58357: For reasons not currently understood when the APR/native connector is used with OpenSSL reads can return an error code when there is no apparent error. This was work-around for HTTP upgrade connections by treating this as EAGAIN. The same fix has now been applied to the standard HTTP connector. (markt) 57799: Remove useless sendfile check for NIO SSL. (remm)

Jasper

57136: Correct a regression in the previous fix for this issue. \${ should only be an escape for ${ within an EL expression. Within a JSP page \$ should be an escape for $. The EL specification applies when parsing the expression delimited by ${ and }. Parsing of the delimiting ${ and } is the responsibility of the JSP specification. (markt) 58296: Fix a memory leak in the JSP unloading feature that meant that using a value other than -1 for maxLoadedJsps triggered a memory leak once the limit was reached. (markt) 58340: Improve error reporting for tag files packaged in JARs. (markt) 58444: Ensure that JSPs work with any custom base class that meets the requirements defined in the JSP specification without requiring that base class to implement Tomcat specific code. (markt)

Cluster

Fix a default clusterListeners in SimpleTcpCluster. The optimal default value is different for each session manager. ClusterSessionListener is never used in BackupManager. (kfujino) Correct log messages in case of using BackupManager. (kfujino)

WebSocket

58342: Fix a copy and paste error that meant MessageHandler removal could fail for binary and pong MessageHandlers. Patch provided by DJ. (markt) 58414: Correctly handle sending zero length messages when using per message deflate. (markt)

Make sure the pool has been properly configured when attributes that related to the pool size are changed via JMX. (kfujino)

Catalina

55317: Facilitate weaving by allowing ClassFileTransformer to be added to WebappClassLoader. Patch by Nick Williams. (markt) 58031: Make the (first) reason parameter parsing failed available as a request attribute and then use it to provide a better status code via the FailedRequstFilter (if configured). (markt) 58086: Ensure that WAR URLs are handled properly when using Apache Ant for web application deployment. (violetagg) 58094: Fix cosmetic error log when using non standard non cacheable resources, like with the empty resources used in some tests. (remm) 58096: Classes loaded from /WEB-INF/classes/ should use that directory as their code base. (markt) Fix possible resource leaks by closing streams properly. Issues reported by Coverity Scan. (violetagg) 58116: Fix a regression in the fix for 57281 that broke Comet support when running under a security manager. Based on a patch provided by Johno Crawford. (markt) 58179: Fix a thread safety issues that could mean concurrent threads setting the same attribute on a ServletContext could both see null as the old value. (markt) 58192: Correct a regression in the previous fix for 58023. Ensure that classes are associated with their manifest even if the class file is first read (and cached) without the manifest. (markt) Fix thread safety issue in the AsyncContext implementation that meant a sequence of start();dispatch(); calls using non-container threads could result in a previous dispatch interfering with a subsequent start. (markt)

Coyote

57943: Prevent the same socket being added to the cache twice. Patch based on analysis by Ian Luo / Sun Qi. (markt) Add text/javascript,application/javascript to the default list of compressable MIME types. (violetagg) 58103: When pipelining requests, and the previous request was an async request, ensure that the socket is removed from the waiting requests so that the async timeout thread doesn't process it during the next request. (markt) Fix a concurrency issue that meant that a change in socket timeout (e.g. when switching to asynchronous I/O) did not always take effect immediately. (markt) In the AJP and HTTP NIO connectors, ensure that the socket timeout is correctly set before adding the socket back to the poller for read. (markt) 58157: Ensure that the handling of async timeouts does not result in an unnecessary dispatch to a container thread that could result in the current socket being added to the Poller multiple times with multiple attempts to process the same event for the same socket. (markt) Correct a couple of edge cases in RequestUtil.normalize(). (markt)

Jasper

58110: Like scriptlet sections, declaration sections of JSP pages have a one-to-one mapping of lines to the generated .java file. Use this information to provide more accurate error messages if a compilation error occurs in a declaration section. (markt) 58119: When tags are compiled they must be placed in the org/apache/jsp/tag/web directory. Correct a regression in the fix for 52725. (violetagg) 58178: Expressions in a tag file should use the tag file's PageContext rather than that of the containing page. (markt)

WebSocket

58166: Allow applications to send close codes in the range 3000-4999 inclusive. (markt) 58232: Avoid possible NPE when adding endpoints programmatically to the javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer. Based on a patch provided by bastian.(violetagg)

Correct the incorrect document of QueryTimeoutInterceptor. The setting value is not in milliseconds but in seconds. (kfujino) 58112: Update the documentation for using the Catalina tasks in an Apache Ant build file. (markt) Improve the Javadoc for some of the APR socket read functions that have inconsistent behaviour for return values. (markt) 58255: Document the Semaphore valve. Patch provided by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)

jdbc-pool

Fix potential NPE in QueryTimeoutInterceptor. (kfujino) Add support for stopping the pool cleaner via JMX. (kfujino) The fairness attribute and ignoreExceptionOnPreLoad attribute do not allow a change via JMX. (kfujino) If the timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis attribute is changed via jmx, it should restart the pool cleaner because this attribute affects the execution interval of the pool cleaner. (kfujino) Eliminate the dependence on maxActive of busy queues and idle queue in order to enable the expansion of the pool size via JMX. (kfujino)

Other

Update sample Eclipse IDE configuration to exclude test/webapp* and similar paths from compiler sourcepath. (kkolinko)

Catalina

57938: Correctly handle empty form fields when a form is submitted as multipart/form-data, the maxPostSize attribute of the Connector has been set to a negative value and the Context has been configured with a value of true for allowCasualMultipartParsing. The meaning of the value zero for the maxPostSize has also been changed to mean a limit of zero rather than no limit to align it with maxSavePostSize and to be more intuitive. (markt) 54618: Add a new HttpHeaderSecurityFilter that adds the Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to the response. (markt) Add a workaround for issues with SPNEGO authentication when running on Java 8 update 40 and later. The workaround should be safe for earlier Java versions but it can be disabled with the applyJava8u40Fix attribute of the SPNEGO authenticator if necessary. (markt) 57154: Add support for web applications (Context elements) that do not have a docBase. This is primarily for use when embedding but it also fixes a rare issue when running the unit test. Patch provided by Huxing Zhang. (markt) 57959: Fixed deadlock in org.apache.juli.FileHandler when log is rotated. (violetagg) 57977: Correctly bind and unbind the web application class loader during execution of the PersistentValve. (markt) 58023: Fix potentially excessive memory usage due to unnecessary caching of JAR manifests in the web application class loader. (markt) 57700: Ensure that Container event ADD_CHILD_EVENT will be sent in all cases. (violetagg) Add configuration fields for header names in SSLValve. (remm)

Coyote

57265: Further fix to address a potential threading issue for NIO when sendfile is used in conjunction with TLS. (markt) 57931: Ensure that TLS connections with the NIO HTTP connector that experience issues during the handshake (e.g. missing or invalid client certificate) are closed cleanly and that the client receives the correct error code rather than simply closing the connection. (markt) 57943: Added a work-around to catch ConcurrentModificationExceptions during Poller timeout processing that were causing the Poller thread to stop. The root cause of these exceptions is currently unknown. (markt) Fix possible very long (1000 seconds) timeout with APR/native connector. (markt) Support "-" separator in the SSLProtocol configuration of the APR/native connector for protocol exclusion. (rjung)

Cluster

Make sure that stream is closed after using it in DeltaSession.applyDiff(). (kfujino)

WebSocket

57676: List conflicting WebSocket endpoint classes when there is a path conflict. Based upon a patch proposed by yangkun. (schultz) Extend support for the permessage-deflate extension to the client implementation. 57969: Provide path parameters to POJO via per session javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig as they vary between different requests. (violetagg) 57974: Session.getOpenSessions should return all sessions associated with a given endpoint instance, rather than all sessions from the endpoint class. (remm)

Web applications

57282: Update request processing sequence diagrams. Updated diagrams provided by Stephen Chen. (markt) 57971: Correct the documentation for the cluster configuration setting recoverySleepTime. (markt) 57758: Add document of testOnConnect attribute in jdbc-pool doc. (kfujino) Add description of validatorClassName attribute to testXXXX attributes in jdbc-pool docs. (kfujino)

Tribes

Ensure that the state transfer flag is updated to true only when the map states have been transferred correctly from existing map members. (kfujino) Do not set the nodes that failed to replication to the backup nodes. Ensure that the nodes that the data has been successfully replicated are set to the backup node. (kfujino) When failed to replication, rather than all member is handled as a failed member, exclude the failure members from backup members. (kfujino)

jdbc-pool

Refactoring of the removeOldest method in SlowQueryReport to behave as expected. (kfujino) 57783: Fix NullPointerException in SlowQueryReport. To avoid this NPE, Refactor SlowQueryReport#removeOldest and handle the abandoned connection properly. (kfujino)

(markt) Update package renamed Apache Commons Codec to r1682326. No functional changes. Javadoc only. (markt)

Catalina

Allow logging of the remote port in the access log using the format pattern %{remote}p. (rjung) 57765: When checking last modified times as part of the automatic deployment process, account for the fact that File.lastModified() has a resolution of one second to ensure that if a file has been modified within the last second, the latest version of the file is always used. Note that a side-effect of this change is that files with modification times in the future are treated as if they are unmodified. (markt) Align redeploy resource modification checking with reload modification checking so that now, in both cases, a change in modification time rather than an increase in modification time is used to determine if the resource has changed. (markt) Cleanup o.a.tomcat.util.digester.Digester from debug messages that do not give any valuable information. Patch provided by Polina Genova. (violetagg) 57772: When reloading a web application and a directory representing an expanded WAR needs to be deleted, delete the directory after the web application has been stopped rather than before to avoid potential ClassNotFoundExceptions. (markt) 57801: Improve the error message in the start script in case the PID read from the PID file is already owned by a process. (rjung) 57824: Correct a regression in the fix for 57252 that broke request listeners for non-async requests that triggered an error that was handled by the ErrorReportingValve. (markt/violetagg) 57841: Improve error logging during web application start. (markt) 57856: Ensure that any scheme/port changes implemented by the RemoteIpFilter also affect HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect(). (markt) 57896: Support defensive copying of "cookie" header so that unescaping double quotes in a cookie value does not corrupt original value of "cookie" header. This is an opt-in feature, enabled by org.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.PRESERVE_COOKIE_HEADER or org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE system property. (kkolinko)

Coyote

57779: When an I/O error occurs on a non-container thread only dispatch to a container thread to handle the error if using Servlet 3+ asynchronous processing. This avoids potential deadlocks if an application is performing I/O on a non-container thread without using the Servlet 3+ asynchronous API. (markt) 57833: When using JKS based keystores for NIO, ensure that the key alias is always converted to lower case since that is what JKS key stores expect. Based on a patch by Santosh Giri Govind M. (markt) 57837: Add text/css to the default list of compressable MIME types. (markt)

Jasper

57845: Ensure that, if the same JSP is accessed directly and via a <jsp-file> declaration in web.xml, updates to the JSP are visible (subject to the normal rules on re-compilation) regardless of how the JSP is accessed. (markt) 57855: Explicitly handle the case where a MethodExpression is invoked with null or the wrong number of parameters. Rather than failing with an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or a NullPointerException throw an IllegalArgumentException with a useful error message. (markt)

Cluster

Add new attribute that send all actions for session across Tomcat cluster nodes. (kfujino) Remove unused pathname attribute in mbean definition of BackupManager. (kfujino) 57338: Improve the ability of the ClusterSingleSignOn valve to handle nodes being added and removed from the Cluster at run time. (markt) Avoid unnecessary call of DeltaRequest.addSessionListener() in non-primary nodes. (kfujino)

WebSocket

57762: Ensure that the WebSocket client correctly detects when the connection to the server is dropped. (markt) 57776: Revert the 8.0.21 fix for the permessage-deflate implementation and incorrect op-codes since the fix was unnecessary (the bug only affected trunk) and the fix broke rather than fixed permessage-deflate if an uncompressed message was converted into more than one compressed message. (markt) Fix log name typo in WsRemoteEndpointImplServer class, caused by a copy-paste. (markt/kkolinko) 57788: Avoid NPE when looking up a class hierarchy without finding anything. (remm)

Web applications

57759: Add information to the keyAlias documentation to make it clear that the order keys are read from the keystore is implementation dependent. (markt) 57864: Update the documentation web application to make it clearer that hex values are not valid for cluster send options. Based on a patch by Kyohei Nakamura. (markt)

Tribes

Fix a concurrency issue when a backup message that has all session data and a backup message that has diff data are processing at the same time. This fix ensures that MapOwner is set to ReplicatedMapEntry. (kfujino) Clarify the handling of Copy message and Copy nodes. (kfujino) Copy node does not need to send the entry data. It is enough to send only the node information of the entry. (kfujino) ReplicatedMap should send the Copy message when replicating. (kfujino) Fix behavior of ReplicatedMap when member has disappeared. If map entry is primary, rebuild the backup members. If primary node of map entry has disappeared, backup node is promoted to primary. (kfujino) When a map member has been added to ReplicatedMap, make sure to add it to backup nodes list of all other members. (kfujino)

Catalina

55988: Correct the check used for Java 8 JSSE server-preferred TLS cipher suite ordering. Ensure that SSL parameters are provided to SSLServerSocket and SSLEngine. Patch provided by Ognjen Blagojevic. (violetagg)

(fschumacher) 57534: CORS Filter should only look at media type component of Content-Type request header. (markt) Ensure that user name checking in the optional SecurityListener is case-insensitive (as documented) and than the case-insensitive comparison is performed using the system default Locale. (markt) When docBase refers internal war and unpackWARs is set to false, avoid registration of the invalid redeploy resource that has been added ".war" extension in duplicate. (kfujino) If WAR exists, it is not necessary to trigger a reload when adding a Directory. (kfujino) 56608: When deploying an external WAR, add watched resources in the expanded directory based on whether the expanded directory is expected to exist rather than if it does exist. When triggering a reload due to a modified watched resource, ensure that multiple changed watched resources only trigger one reload rather than a series of reloads. 57601: Ensure that HEAD requests return the correct content length (i.e. the same as for a GET) when the requested resource includes a resource served by the Default servlet.

(jboynes/fschumacher) 57645: Correct a regression in the fix for 57190 that incorrectly required the path passed to ServletContext.getContext(String) to be an exact match to a path to an existing context. (markt) Make sure that unpackWAR attribute of Context is handled correctly in HostConfig. (kfujino) When deploying a WAR file that contains a context.xml file and unpackWARs is false ignore any context.xml file that may exist in an expanded directory associated with the WAR. (markt) 57675: Correctly quote strings when using the extended access log. (markt) 57704: Fix potential NPEs during web application start/stop when org.apache.tomcat.InstanceManager is not initialized. (violetagg) Add support for LAST_ACCESS_AT_START system property to SingleSignOn.

(kkolinko) 57540: Make TLS/SSL protocol available in a new request attribute (org.apache.tomcat.util.net.secure_protocol_version). (Note that AJP connectors will require mod_jk 1.2.41 or later, or an as-yet-unknown version of mod_proxy_ajp, or configure the proxy to send the AJP_SSL_PROTOCOL request attribute to Tomcat. Please see the bug comments for details.) Based upon a patch provided by Ralf Hauser. (schultz) 57544: Fix potential infinite loop when preparing a kept alive HTTP connection for the next request. (markt) 57546: Ensure that a dropped network connection does not leave references to the UpgradeProcessor associated with the connection in memory.

(markt) When applying the maxSwallowSize limit to a connection read that many bytes first before closing the connection to give the client a chance to read the response. (markt) Prevent an async timeout being processed multiple times for the same socket when running on slow and/or heavily loaded systems. (markt) 57581: Change statistics byte counter in coyote Request object to be long to allow values above 2Gb. (kkolinko) Fix a concurrency issue in the APR Poller that meant it was possible under low load for a socket queued to be added to the Poller not to be added for 10 seconds. (markt) 57638: Avoid an IllegalArgumentException when an AJP request body chunk larger than the socket read buffer is being read. This typically requires a larger than default AJP packetSize. (markt) 57674: Avoid a BufferOverflowException when an AJP response body chunk larger than the socket write buffer is being written. This typically requires a larger than default AJP packetSize. (markt) Refactor Connector authentication (only used by AJP) into a separate method. (markt) 57708: Implement a new feature for AJP connectors - Tomcat Authorization. If the new tomcatAuthorization attribute is set to true (it is disabled by default) Tomcat will take an authenticated user name from the AJP protocol and use the appropriate Realm for the request to authorize (i.e. add roles) to that user. (markt) Fix an issue that meant that any pipe-lined data read by Tomcat before an asynchronous request completed was lost during the completion of the asynchronous request. This mean that the pipe-lined request(s) would be lost and/or corrupted. (markt) Update the minimum recommended version of the Tomcat Native library (if used) to 1.1.33. (markt)

(kkolinko) Fix CVE-2014-0227: Various improvements to ChunkedInputFilter including clean-up, i18n for error messages and adding an error flag to allow subsequent attempts at reading after an error to fail fast. (markt) If request contains an unrecognized Expect header, respond with error 417 (Expectation Failed), according to RFC2616 chapter 14.20. (markt) When an error occurs after the response has been committed close the connection immediately rather than attempting to finish the response to make it easier for the client to differentiate between a complete response and one that failed part way though. (markt) 56620: Avoid bogus access log entries when pausing the NIO HTTP connector and ensure that access log entries generated by error conditions use the correct request start time. (markt) Fix CVE-2014-0230: Add a new limit, defaulting to 2MB, for the amount of data Tomcat will swallow for an aborted upload. The limit is configurable by maxSwallowSize attribute of an HTTP connector. (markt) Allow to configure maxSwallowSize attribute of an HTTP connector via JMX. (kkolinko) 56661: Fix getLocalAddr() for AJP connectors. The complete fix is only available with a recent AJP forwarder like the forthcoming mod_jk 1.2.41. (rjung)

Catalina

Fix custom UTF-8 decoder so that a byte of value 0xC1 is always rejected immediately as it is never valid in a UTF-8 byte sequence. Update UTF-8 decoder tests to account for UTF-8 decoding improvements in Java 8. The custom UTF-8 decoder is still required due to bugs in the UTF-8 decoder provided by Java. Java 8's decoder is better than Java 7's but it is still buggy. (markt) 56027: Add more options for managing FIPS mode in the AprLifecycleListener. (schultz/kkolinko) 56321: When a WAR is modified, undeploy the web application before deleting any expanded directory as the undeploy process may refer to classes that need to be loaded from the expanded directory.

(markt) 56236: Enable Tomcat to work with alternative Servlet and JSP API JARs that package the XML schemas in such as way as to require a dependency on the JSP API before enabling validation for web.xml. Tomcat has no such dependency. (markt) 56246: Fix NullPointerException in MemoryRealm when authenticating an unknown user. (markt) 56248: Allow the deployer to update an existing WAR file without undeploying the existing application if the update flag is set.

(markt) 56304: Add a note to the documentation about not using WebSocket with BIO HTTP in production. (markt)

Other

56143: Improve service.bat so that it can be launched from a non-UAC console. This includes using a single call to tomcat7.exe to install the Windows service rather than three calls, and using command line arguments instead of environment variables to pass the settings. (markt/kkolinko) Fix regression in 7.0.52: when using service.bat install to install the service the values for --StdOutput, --StdError options were passed as blank instead of "auto". (kkolinko) Align options between service.bat and exe Windows installer. For service.bat the changes are in --Classpath, --DisplayName, --StartPath, --StopPath. For exe installer the changes are in --JvmMs, --JvmMx options, which are now 128 Mb and 256 Mb respectively instead of being empty. Explicitly specify --LogPath path when uninstalling Windows service, avoiding default value for that option. (kkolinko) Simplify Windows *.bat files: remove %OS% checks, as java 6 does not run on ancient non-NT operating systems. (kkolinko) 56137: Explicitly use the BIO connector in the SSL example in server.xml so it doesn't break if APR is enabled.

(markt) 55937: When deploying applications, treat a context path of /ROOT as equivalent to /. (markt) 55943: Improve the implementation of the class loader check that prevents web applications from trying to override J2SE implementation classes. As part of this fix, refactor the way a null parent class loader is handled which enables a number of null checks and object creation calls to be removed. Note that this change means that, by default, the web application class loader is now a higher priority for loading classes than the system class loader. (markt) 55958: Differentiate between foo.war the WAR file and foo.war the directory. (markt) 55960: Improve the single sign on (SSO) unit tests. Patch provided by Brian Burch.

Patch by Juan Carlos Estibariz. (markt) 56025: When creating a WebSocket connection, always call ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator.getNegotiatedSubprotocol() and always create the EndPoint instance after calling ServerEndpointConfig.Configurator.modifyHandshake(). (markt) 56032: Ensure that the WebSocket connection is closed after an IO error or an interrupt while sending a WebSocket message. (markt) 56042: If a request in async mode has an error but has already been dispatched don't generate an error page in the ErrorReportValve so the dispatch target can handle it. (markt) Add missing javax.annotation.sql.* classes to annotations-api.jar. (markt) The type of logger attribute of Context MBean should be not org.apache.commons.logging.Log but org.apache.juli.logging.Log.

(markt) 56029: A regression in the fix for 55198 meant that when EL containing a ternary expression was used in an attribute a compilation error would occur for some expressions. (markt) Correct several errors in jspxml Schema and DTD. (kkolinko) Change default value of the blockExternal attribute of JspC task. The default value is true. Add support for -no-blockExternal switch when JspC is run as a standalone application. (kkolinko)

Extras

55166, 56045: Copy the XML schemas used for validation that are packaged in jsp-api.jar to servlet-api.jar so that an embedded Tomcat instance can start without Jasper being available. This also enables validation to work without Jasper being available. (markt/kkolinko) 56039: Enable the JmxRemoteLifecycleListener to work over SSL. Patch by esengstrom. (markt)

Other

55743: Enable the stop script to work when the shutdown port is disabled and a PID file is defined. This is only available on platforms that use catalina.sh. (markt) 55986: When forcing Tomcat to stop via kill -9 $CATALINA_PID, the catalina.sh script could incorrectly report that Tomcat had not yet completely stopped when it had. Based on a patch by jess. (markt) Package correct license and notice files with embedded JARs. (markt) Remove svn keywords (such as $Id) from source files and documentation.

(markt) 55905: Prevent a NPE when web.xml references a taglib file that does not exist. Provide better error message. (violetagg)

Coyote

When using the BIO connector with an internal executor, do not display a warning that the executor has not shutdown as the default configuration for BIO connectors is not to wait. This is because threads in keep-alive connections cannot be interrupted and therefore the warning was nearly always displayed. (markt)

Jasper

JspC uses servlet context initialization parameters to pass configuration so ensure that the servlet context used supports initialization parameters. (markt)

Cluster

In AbstractReplicatedMap#finalize, remove rpcChannel from channel Listener of group channel before sending MapMessage.MSG_STOP message. This prevents that the node that sent the MapMessage.MSG_STOP by normal shutdown is added to member map again by ping at heartbeat thread in the node that received the MapMessage.MSG_STOP. (kfujino) Add time stamp to GET_ALL_SESSIONS message. (kfujino)

Web applications

Fix the sample configuration of StaticMembershipInterceptor in order to prevent warning log. uniqueId must be 16 bytes. (kfujino)

(markt) 55681: Ensure that the WebSocket session is made available to MessageHandler method calls. (markt) Updated servlet spec version and documentation section-number reported when JAR files are rejected for containing a trigger class (e.g. javax.servlet.Servlet). (schultz) Modify the WebSocket handshake process so that the user properties Map exposed by the ServerEndpointConfig during the call to Configurator.modifyHandshake() is unique to the connection rather than shared by all connections associated with the Endpoint. This allows for easier configuration of per connection properties from within modifyHandshake(). (markt) 55684: Log a warning but continue if the memory leak detection code is unable to access all threads to check for possible memory leaks when a web application is stopped. (markt) Define the web-fragment.xml in tomcat7-websocket.jar as a Servlet 3.0 web fragment rather than as a Servlet 3.1 web fragment. (markt) 55715: Add a per web application executor to the WebSocket implementation and use it for calling SendHandler.onResult() when there is a chance that the current thread also initiated the write. (markt) Prevent file descriptors leak and ensure that files are closed when configuring the web application. (violetagg) Fixed the name of the provider-configuration file located in tomcat7-websocket.jar!/META-INF/services that exposes information for javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpointConfig$Configurator implementation. (violetagg) 55760: Remove the unnecessary setting of the javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly system property in the SpnegoAuthenticator as in addition to it being unnecessary, it causes problems with using SPNEGO with IBM JDKs. Patch provided by Arunav Sanyal. (markt) 55772: Ensure that the request and response are recycled after an error during asynchronous processing. Includes a test case based on code contributed by Todd West. (markt) 55778: Add an option to the JNDI Realm to control the QOP used for the connection to the LDAP server after authentication when using SPNEGO with delegated credentials. This value is used to set the javax.security.sasl.qop environment property for the LDAP connection. (markt) 55798: Log an error if the MemoryUserDatabase is unable to find the specified user database file. (markt) 55799: Correctly enforce the restriction in JSR356 that no more than one data message may be sent to a remote WebSocket endpoint at a time. (markt) When Catalina parses TLD files, always use a namespace aware parser to be consistent with how Jasper parses TLD files. The tldNamespaceAware attribute of the Context is now ignored. (markt) Deprecate the tldNamespaceAware Context attribute as TLDs are always parsed with a namespace aware parser. (markt) Correct a logic error that meant that unpackWARs was ignored and the WAR was always expanded if a WAR failed to deploy. (markt) Add support for defining copyXML on a per Context basis. (markt) Define the expected behaviour of the automatic deployment and align the implementation to that definition. (markt) When running under a security manager, change the default value of the Host's deployXML attribute to false. (markt) If a Host is configured with a value of false for deployXML, a web application has an embedded descriptor at META-INF/context.xml and no explicit descriptor has been defined for this application, do not allow the application to start. The reason for this is that the embedded descriptor may contain configuration necessary for secure operation such as a RemoteAddrValve. (markt) Prevent an NPE in the WebSocket ServerContainer when processing an HTTP session end event. (markt) 55801: Add the ability to set a custom SSLContext to use for client wss connections. Patch provided by Maciej Lypik. (markt) 55804: If the GSSCredential for the cached Principal expires when using SPNEGO authentication, force a re-authentication. (markt) 55811: If the main web.xml contains an empty absolute-ordering element and validation of web.xml is not enabled, skip parsing any web-fragment.xml files as the result is never used. (markt) 55839: Extend support for digest prefixes {MD5}, {SHA} and {SSHA} to all Realms rather than just the JNDIRealm. (markt) 55842: Ensure that if a larger than default response buffer is configured that the full buffer is used when a Servlet outputs via a Writer. (markt) 55851: Further fixes to enable SPNEGO authentication to work with IBM JDKs. Based on a patch by Arunav Sanyal. (markt) Fix CVE-2013-4590: Add an option to the Context to control the blocking of XML external entities when parsing XML configuration files and enable this blocking by default when a security manager is used. The block is implemented via a custom resolver to enable the logging of any blocked entities. (markt)

Coyote

Implement a number of small refactorings to the APR/native handler for upgraded HTTP connections. (markt) Fix an issue with upgraded HTTP connections over HTTPS (e.g. secure WebSocket) when using the APR/native connector that resulted in the unexpected closure of the connection. (markt) Ensure that the application class loader is used when calling the ReadListener and WriteListener methods when using non-blocking IO. A side effect of not doing this was that JNDI was not available when processing WebSocket events. (markt) Make the time that the internal executor (if used) waits for request processing threads to terminate before continuing with the connector stop process configurable. (markt) 55749: Improve the error message when SSLEngine is disabled in the AprLifecycleListener and SSL is configured for an APR/native connector. (markt) If a request that includes an Expect: 100-continue header receives anything other than a 2xx response, close the connection This protects against misbehaving clients that may not sent the request body in that case and send the next request instead. (markt) Improve the parsing of trailing headers in HTTP requests. (markt)

Jasper

55735: Fix a regression caused by the fix to 55198. When processing JSP documents, attributes in XML elements that are template content should have their text xml-escaped, but output of EL expressions in them should not be escaped. (markt) 55807: The JSP compiler used a last modified time of -1 for TLDs in JARs expanded in to WEB-INF/classes (IDEs often do this expansion) when creating the dependency list for JSPs that used that TLD. This meant JSPs using that TLD were recompiled on every access. (markt)

Cluster

Reduce unnecessary nesting for acquisition of cluster instance. (kfujino) Remove unnecessary attributes of stateTransferCreateSendTime and receiverQueue from cluster manager template. These attributes should not be defined as a template. (kfujino) Fix MBean attribute definition of stateTransfered. The method name is not isStateTransfered() but getStateTransfered(). (kfujino) Correct stop failure log of cluster. Failure cause is not only Valve. (kfujino) Remove unnecessary sleep when sending session blocks on session sync phase. (kfujino) Expose stateTimestampDrop of org.apache.catalina.ha.session.DeltaManager via JMX. (kfujino) When the ping timeouted, make sure that memberDisappeared method is not called by specifying the members that has already been removed.

(violetagg) 55357: Ensure the web application class loader is set as a thread context class loader during session deserialization. (violetagg) 55404: Log warnings about using security roles in web.xml without defining them as warnings. (markt) 55439: Don't try a forced stop when stop -force is used if Tomcat has already been stopped. This avoids error messages when the PID file has been cleared. If a forced stop is required, improve handling of the case when the PID file can be read from or written to but not deleted. (markt) 55454: Avoid NPE when parsing an incorrect content type. (violetagg) Back-port the JSR-356 Java WebSocket 1.0 implementation from Tomcat 8. Note that use of this functionality requires Java 7.

Catalina

Ensure a log message is generated when a web application fails to start due to an error processing a ServletContainerInitializer. (markt) Prevent NPE in JAR scanning when running in an environment where the bootstrap class loader is not an ancestor of the web application class loader such as OSGi environments. (violetagg) Ensure that, if a call to UEncoder#encodeURL is made, all internal structures are properly cleaned. (violetagg) 54660: Enable the modification of an access log's fileDateFormat attribute while the access log is in use. The change will take effect when the next entry is made to the access log. (markt) Update Tomcat's internal copy of Commons FileUpload to FileUpload trunk, revision 1458500 and the associated extract from Commons IO to 2.4. (markt) 54702: Prevent file descriptors leak and ensure that files are closed when parsing web application deployment descriptors. (violetagg) 54707: Further relax the parsing of DIGEST authentication headers to allow for buggy clients that quote values that RFC2617 states should not be quoted. (markt/kkolinko) Enable support for MBeans with multiple operations with the same name but different signatures. (markt) Deprecate Tomcat's internal Base 64 encoder/decoder and switch to using a package renamed copy of the Commons Codec implementation. (markt) Ensure that StandardJarScanner#scan will use the provided class loader when scanning the class loader hierarchy. (violetagg)

Coyote

54690: Fix a regression caused by the previous fix for 54406. If no values are specified for sslEnabledProtocols or ciphers use the default values for server sockets rather than the default values for client sockets. (markt)

Web applications

Correct Deployer, Manager and Context pages of Tomcat documentation. (kkolinko)

jdbc-pool

52318: Version for imported package org.apache.juli.logging is extended to include also 7.0.x versions. The fix is applicable only when running in OSGi environment. Patch provided by Martin Lichtin. (violetagg) 54599: Do not print connection password in PoolProperties.toString(). Based on a patch by Daniel Mikusa. (kkolinko) 54684: Add javax.naming.spi to Import-Package header in MANIFEST.MF in order to resolve ClassNotFoundException when running in OSGi environment. (violetagg)

Update to Apache Commons Daemon 1.0.14 to resolve 54609 which meant that installation of Windows service could fail producing incorrect service launch command. (mturk) Ensure HEAD requests return the correct content length when the requested resource uses a Writer. Patch by Nick Williams. (markt)

Catalina

Ensure that the request start time (used by the access log valve to calculate request processing time) is correctly recorded for the HTTP NIO connector. In some cases the request processing time may have been longer than that recorded. (markt) Add one more library from JDK 7 to the value of jarsToSkip property in the catalina.properties file. (kkolinko) 53871: If annotation scanning results in a StackOverflowError due to broken class dependencies, add the class hierarchy that triggered the exception to the error message. (markt) Add a new option to the standard JarScanner implementation (scanBootstrapClassPath) to control if the bootstrap classpath is scanned or not. By default, it will not be scanned. (markt) Provide more consolidated servlet MBean data in the webapp MBean. (rjung) 54584: Take account of the delegate attribute when building the web application class path to pass to the JSP compiler. (markt) Copy the updated and re-packaged UTF-8 decoder from Tomcat 8.0.x and use this improved decoder for WebSocket connections. Remove the WebSocket specific UTF-8 decoder. (markt) 54602: Recycle the byte to character converter used for URIs between requests to ensure an error in one request does not trigger a failure in the next request. (markt) Use the newly added improved UTF-8 decoder for decoding UTF-8 encoded URIs and UTF-8 encoded request bodies. Invalid UTF-8 URIs will not cause an error but will make use of the replacement character when an error is detected. This will allow web applications to handle the URI which will most likely result in a 404 response. The fall-back to decoding with ISO-8859-1 if UTF-8 decoding fails has been removed. Invalid UTF-8 sequences in a request body will trigger an IOException. The way the decoder is used has also been improved. The notable change is that invalid sequences at the end of the input now trigger an error rather than being silently swallowed. (markt) 54624: Ensure that the correct request body length is used when swallowing a request body after FORM authentication prior to restoring the original request preventing possible hanging when restoring POST requests submitted over AJP. (markt) 54628: When writing binary WebSocket messages write from start position in array rather than the start of the array. Patch provided by blee. (markt)

(kkolinko) Correct typos in configuration samples on SSL Configuration page of Tomcat documentation. (kkolinko) Disable support for comments on Changelog page of Tomcat documentation. (kkolinko) Fix several issues with status.xsd schema in Manager web application, testing it against actual output of StatusTransformer class. (kkolinko) Clarify the documentation on how context paths may be configured for web applications. (markt)

54601: Change catalina.sh to consistently use LOGGING_MANAGER variable to configure logging, instead of modifying JAVA_OPTS one. (kkolinko)

Catalina

54521: Ensure that concurrent requests that require a DIGEST authentication challenge receive different nonce values. (markt) 54534: Ensure that, if a call to StandardWrapper#isSingleThreadModel() triggers the loading of a Servlet, the correct class loader is used. (markt) 54536: Ensure the default error page is displayed if a custom HTTP status code is used when calling HttpServletResponse#sendError(int, String). (markt)

Coyote

54456: Ensure that if a client aborts a request when sending a chunked request body that this is communicated correctly to the client reading the request body. (markt) Update the native component of the APR/native connector to 1.1.27 and make that version the recommended minimum version. (markt)

Make additional allowances for buggy client implementations of HTTP DIGEST authentication. This is a follow-on to 54060. (markt) 54438: Fix a regression in the fix for 52953 that triggered a NPE when digested passwords were used and an authentication attempt was made for a user that did not exist in the realm. (markt) 54448: Correctly handle @Resource annotations on primitives. Patch provided by Violeta Georgieva. (markt) 54450: Correctly handle resource injection when part of the servlet properties uses @Resource and the other uses injection-target. Patch provided by Violeta Georgieva. (markt) 54458: Include exception when logging errors in the DataSourceRealm. Patch provided by Violeta Georgieva. (markt) 54483: Correct one of the Spanish translations. Based on a suggestion from adinamita. (markt) Prevent the SSO deregister when web application is stopped or reloaded. When StandardManager(pathname="") or DeltaManager stops normally, all sessions in the context are expired. In this case, because most sessions is not time-out, SSO deregister was triggered. (kfujino) Include the exception in the log message if the parsing of the context.xml file fails. (markt/kkolinko) 54497: Make memory leak detection code more robust so a failure in the leak detection code does not prevent the Context from stopping unless the error is fatal to the JVM. (markt) 54507: Do not start the background thread that is used for expiring sessions (amongst other things) until the web application is fully started. Stop the background thread as soon as the web application is stopped. (markt) Allow WebSocket Ping/Pong messages to be sent between fragments of a fragmented message. (markt) 54612: Check if the socket is closed before trying to write a WebSocket message to it. Also, flush any partial buffered data before closing the socket. (markt)

Coyote

54324: Allow APR connector to disable TLS compression if OpenSSL supports it. (schultz) 54406: Fix NIO HTTPS connector to prune specified ciphers and sslEnableProtocols options to those supported by the SSL implementation, sharing logic with the BIO connector. Modified ciphers and sslEnabledProtocols option pruning to not silently revert to JVM defaults when none of the options specified are supported - new behaviour is to warn and explicitly enable no options. (timw) Align NIO HTTP connector with other HTTP connectors and include leading blank lines when determining the size of the HTTP headers. (markt)

Jasper

53869: Performance improvement for pages with lots of heavily nested tags. Retain a reference to the root JSP context rather than traversing the hierarchy on every call. Based on a patch suggested by Sheldon Shao. (markt) 54440: Correct a regression caused by the changes for 54240 that broke compilation of JSPs with JspC. Patch provided by Sheldon Shao. (markt) 54466: Improve error message by including the name of the file when the java file generated from a tag file cannot be compiled. Based on a patch by Sheldon Shao. (markt)

Cluster

Fix incorrect increment of counterSend_EVT_SESSION_EXPIRED and counterSend_EVT_CHANGE_SESSION_ID. These values are not incremented if no members active in cluster group. (kfujino) 54476: Correct error in Javadoc of GroupChannel send methods to maker clear that the minimum length of the destination member array is one, not two. (markt) Prevent SSO deregister when node shutdown normally in cluster environment. (kfujino) Check cluster member before sending replicate message in ClusterSingleSignOn. (kfujino)
