Because it's very nearly a spec violation. Assuming that users never switch application servers, it's probably harmless. But if you use a sorting-Tomcat and move to JBoss and your stuff stops working, JBoss will tell you the same thing: you were relying on some wacky behavior those crazy kids at Apache Tomcat were willing to do, and now you have to grow up and adhere to published specifications. > Is there any conceivable scenario where someone would prefer to > have non-deterministic behavior? Probably not. Why do you have JAR files that rely on specific ordering to maintain determinism? I can't understand why someone would build an application like that. Your move. -- 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
