Unless you have the source code reference in Tomcat which is wrong,
it may not be a bug. E-mail the
user list and confirm its a bug. Also
read this first from the tomcat site about reporting a bug.
There could be a good chance that the other servlet container could
be implementing the spec wrong.
Any of the following may affect someone acting on a bug:
-
Is it a bug?
-
Is your description good?
-
Is your description complete?
-
Can a developer easily reproduce the bug in their own environment?
-
Have you provided a patch? Is it against cvs? Using the correct file? Using
cvs diff -u
-
Is your patch coded well?
-
Is your solution "good"?
Some developers are uncomfortable submitting patches to code they are
unfamiliar with. The committers are not experts in all areas of Tomcat.
It may be that the developer who has the ability to adequately review
the patch may be too busy or unable to review the bug. That is the bad news,
the good news is Tomcat is Open Source and you can build and use your own
release until the fix gets back into the official release.
