                              Apache Tomcat 6.0 Patch Proposals
                              =================================
     
     
     RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
     
     
     PATCHES ACCEPTED TO BACKPORT:
       [ start all new proposals below, under PATCHES PROPOSED. ]
     
     PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT:
       [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ]
     
     * Backport UserDataHelper class (issue 52184)
       Provide greater control over the logging of errors triggered by invalid
       input data (i.e. data over which Tomcat has no control).
     
       Note: cookies logging (o.a.t.util.http.Cookies) does not need to be
       addressed in Tomcat 6, because all logging in that class here is done at
       debug level.
     
       http://people.apache.org/~kkolinko/patches/2012-03-26_tc6_UserDataHelper.patch
       (includes a new file, copied from trunk:
       svn cp ../../trunk/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/log/UserDataHelper.java@1242371 java/org/apache/tomcat/util/log/UserDataHelper.java

     * For https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52055
       Ensure that filters are recycled.
       Inspired by r1334790 (TC7), r565964 (TC6 Nio)
       I do not have evidence that this change matters, but it should not hurt.
       The nextRequest() method already recycles the filters. If it has been called,
       then lastActiveFilter is -1 and the new code will be NOOP.

          -- Note that a bug has been found in the feature to backport which
             requires an update to tcnative:

     PATCHES/ISSUES THAT ARE STALLED
     
     * Backport JSP unloading patch (BZ48358).
       The patch has substantially changed since the original version.
       Original revisions are: 937787, 1028377, 1028389, 1028396, 1028861, 1028862, 1028863,
       1028935, 1028939, 1028940, 1028944, 1028950, 1030014, 1030037
       Combined TC 6 patch:
       http://people.apache.org/~rjung/patches/BZ48358-JSP_Unloading-TC6_20101118.patch
       +1: rjung
       -0: markt - http://markmail.org/thread/777be426ulcfmdd3 suggests there may be
                   a memory leak in this code somewhere. I'd like to get to the
                   bottom of that before porting this
           rjung:  I started a discussion about JSPs and memory on the dev list.
                   The updated patch fixes a race condition.
                   We can stall this item until we get some feedback about 7.0.5.
           markt - r1172614 needs to be included in this proposal. With that patch,
                   my testing shows that the unloading works as designed

     * Fix https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52918
       Add WebSocket support to Tomcat 6

       -0: kkolinko:
            - Interesting, but I do not think there is much interest in it.
              If one needs this feature I would suggest to upgrade to Tomcat 7.
              If one cannot upgrade to Tomcat 7 then they probably cannot
              upgrade to a later Tomcat 6 either.
            - The protocol specification still evolves. I think it is too risky
              to implement websockets for Tomcat 6.
            - Formally, the proposal does not have a link to the patch.
            - The patch in Bugzilla does not include latest changes from Tomcat 7. E.g.
                 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1380841
              (Is one supposed to just copy the current version of websocket
              package from Tomcat 7 here?)
