                         Apache Tomcat 5.5 Patch Proposals
                         =================================


PATCHES PROPOSED TO BACKPORT:
  [ New proposals should be added at the end of the list ]

* Remove JSSE13Factory, JSSE13SocketFactory classes,
  because
    - TC 5.5 runs on JRE 1.4+ and that comes bundled with JSSE 1.4,
      so these classes are no more needed.
    - JSSE13SocketFactory directly references com.sun.net.* classes in its
      source code without using reflection, and that causes compilation failure
      with my IDE/JRE settings.
  1)
    svn delete connectors/util/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/net/jsse/JSSE13Factory.java
    svn delete connectors/util/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/net/jsse/JSSE13SocketFactory.java

* Backport Windows installer improvements from Tomcat 7.0.5.
  (as applied to TC6 in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1056426&view=rev )

  TC5.5 differences from TC6:
   1) The patch includes changes to build.xml, to implement filtering for @YEAR@
   2) The patch includes changes to tomcat-users_1.xml, to implement TC6/TC7
   installer feature that the character encoding that was used to write
   tomcat-users.xml is included in the XML signature at the top of the file.
   That is to support non-latin usernames.
   3) The patch uses the old roles "manager" and "admin", not the "-gui" ones.

  To apply:
  1. Run the following SVN commands:
   svn del build/resources/jvm.ini
   svn del build/resources/config.ini
   svn del build/resources/main.ico
   svn del build/resources/uninst.ico
   # copy icons from TC7, see r999976
   svn copy ../../trunk/res/main.ico build/resources/
   svn copy ../../trunk/res/uninst.ico build/resources/
  2. Apply patch:

   For reference: here is the diff of tomcat.nsi of trunk @1059900 if I copy
   patched tomcat.nsi of tc5.5 on top of it:
   (  http://people.apache.org/~kkolinko/patches/2011-01-17_tc55_tomcat-nsi-of-tc7_vs_tc55.diff )

* Fix https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50620
  Exceptions calling session.endAccess should not prevent recycle() from completing normally
  1) copy o.a.tomcat.util.ExceptionUtils from trunk
   svn copy ../../trunk/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/ExceptionUtils.java connectors/util/java/org/apache/tomcat/util/
  2) patches:
   http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1061442&view=rev
