AS 5.0.0.Beta4 and STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE

[leigh.anderson]

Hi There,

We're developing a Spring application on AS 5.0.0 and are running into problems with

Original SevletResponse or wrapped original ServletResponse not passed to RequestDispatcher in violation of SRV.8.2 and SRV.14.2.5.1
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.checkSameObjects(ApplicationDispatcher.java:970)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doInclude(ApplicationDispatcher.java:484)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.include(ApplicationDispatcher.java:472)
at org.springmodules.xt.ajax.component.dynamic.JspComponent.render(JspComponent.java:53)

A workaround I've found for AS 4.2.2 is to specify -DSTRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=false on the commandline. This doesn't seem to work for AS5.0.0. Looking into it further, it seems that the catalina.properties file included in JBoss Web 2.1.0 sets this property to true regardless of what's specified on the command line. This was not the case in AS 4.2.2.

Is there a way around this that doesn't involve altering this jar file?

Cheers,
Leigh

put
org.apache.catalina.Globals.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=false
In conf/catalina.properties (in the directory where you run bin/run.sh).

You should extract the org/apache/catalina/startup/catalina.properties from jbossweb.jar and copy it conf/catalina.properties and modify it.

That did the trick! A much nicer solution, thank you.
