Bug ID: 59813 Summary: Infinite loop behavior on circular relations of Class-Path entries in Manifest.MF file Product: Tomcat 8 Version: 8.5.3 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: chris.ve...@rainhail.com Created attachment 34018 --> https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=34018&action=edit Circular Relationship Test Example We're experiencing a situation with tomcat 8.5.3 where if two jars each possess a Class-Path entry to the other jar in their MANIFEST.MF file, the server hangs at startup. We can reproduce this problem on both Ubuntu and Windows. I've created two jars for testing purposes which contain manifests pointing to each other. It is only necessary to drop these jars into the server lib folder and attempt to start the server to cause the problem to occur. We encountered this issue because the IBM MQ libraries have a similar circular relationship in their manifest.mf class-path entries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
