Bug #: 51637 Summary: Lifecyclebase.start() method should be non-final Product: Tomcat 7 Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: anilsaldh...@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified If we need to have deeper integration with the web container security, then there is a need to extend the default Tomcat Authenticators. This is what we have done in project PicketLink where we bring SAML based Web Browser SSO to Tomcat Applications. As highlighted by our user in http://community.jboss.org/thread/170430?tstart=0, there is a JVM byte code verification error now that the Lifecyclebase.start() method has been made final. This affects all valves/authenticators users are going to write. The start() method is usually overriden such that the valve/authenticator can do initialization before they are started via super.start(). -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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
