Package: tomcat6-user Version: 6.0.35-1+squeeze2 (This may affect the tomcat7 packages as well.)
While testing tomcat6 with a security manager I found that the default catalina.policy in /usr/share/tomcat6/skel/conf/ resulted in an access control failure trying to read the property org.apache.tomcat.util.http.FastHttpDateFormat.CACHE_SIZE Very similar symptoms have been reported on the tomcat-user mailing list, see http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/Server-starts-but-fails-to-get-any-reqs-td3697010.html Upon investigation I discovered that my problem had to do with /usr/share/tomcat6/lib/tomcat-coyote.jar being a symbolic link into another directory (/usr/share/java) that is not granted any special permissions by the default catalina.policy. Adding grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/java/tomcat-coyote-6.0.35.jar" { permission java.security.AllPermission; }; was enough to get over this particular hurdle (and on to the next symlinked jar that triggers an AccessControlException). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
