Tomcat 10.1.7 Released
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.1.7 of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the Jakarta EE 10 platform.
Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 10 without changes. Java EE based applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier may be placed in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee
directory and Tomcat will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the Apache Tomcat migration tool for Jakarta EE tool which is also available as a separate download for off-line use.
The notable changes in this release are:
- Correct a regression introduced in the fix for bug 66196 that meant that the HTTP headers and/or request line could get corrupted (one part overwriting another part) within a single request.
- Revert the switch to using the ServiceLoader mechanism to load the custom URL protocol handlers that Tomcat uses. The original system property based approach has been restored.
- Restore inline state after async operation in NIO2, to account the fact that unexpected exceptions are sometimes thrown by the implementation. Patch submitted by zhougang.
- Provide a more appropriate response (501 rather than 400) when rejecting an HTTP request using the CONNECT method.
- Add support for txt: and rnd: rewrite map types from mod_rewrite. Based on a pull request provided by Dimitrios Soumis.
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 10.1 changelog.
