            Bug ID: 59013
           Summary: In 8.0.32, WebappClassLoaderBase.filter throws
                    StringIndexOutOfBoundsException for "org"
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.32
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Mac OS X 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Manager
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: max.tardiv...@ca.com

As of 8.0.32, WebappClassLoaderBase.filter() now looks for "org" in the class
name, but if the class name happens to be just "org", it throws a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException at line 2780.

This may seem minor (who's got a class called "org"?) but it's not, because
applications that use Rhino will hit this problem very quickly. When loading a
class a.b.c.MyClass, Rhino will try to load each package, i.e. a, then a.b,
then a.b.c, then finally a.b.c.MyClass. So if you try to load a class that's in
a org package, you get the exception.

The fix should be simple: if the class name starts with "org", do *not* assume
that it's longer than 3 characters.
