[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBAS-4005) Error reading web.xml with external entities when taglib is used

Error reading web.xml with external entities when taglib is used ---------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-4005 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4005 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.5.GA Environment: MacOsX, JBossAS-4.0.5 Reporter: Angela Roberts Assignee: Remy Maucherat Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.GA Attachments: test.war.zip See the sample application attached. It contains a web.xml that uses an external entity: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app [ <!ENTITY inc SYSTEM "web-include.xml">]> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> &inc; </web-app> When the first JSP of this application is called, if this JSP declares a taglib, JBoss can't find the included xml file. This is the stack trace: 18:36:57,289 ERROR [MyEntityResolver] Invalid PUBLIC ID: null 18:36:57,351 ERROR [MyEntityResolver] Invalid PUBLIC ID: null 18:36:57,358 ERROR [[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Applications/jboss-4.0.5.GA/bin/web-include.xml at org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.connect(FileURLConnection.java:94) at org.jboss.net.protocol.file.FileURLConnection.getInputStream(FileURLConnection.java:103) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.setupCurrentEntity(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.startEntity(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLEntityManager.startEntity(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanEntityReference(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.jasper.xmlparser.ParserUtils.parseXMLDocument(ParserUtils.java:95) at org.apache.jasper.xmlparser.ParserUtils.parseXMLDocument(ParserUtils.java:132) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jasper.TagLibCache.processWebDotXml(TagLibCache.java:162) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jasper.TagLibCache.init(TagLibCache.java:99) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jasper.TagLibCache.getLocation(TagLibCache.java:83) at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.getTldLocation(JspCompilationContext.java:526) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseTaglibDirective(Parser.java:422) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseDirective(Parser.java:492) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parseElements(Parser.java:1556) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.parse(Parser.java:126) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.doParse(ParserController.java:211) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ParserController.parse(ParserController.java:100) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateJava(Compiler.java:155) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:295) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:276) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:264) at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:563) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:305) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:213) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:178) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:175) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:74) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:126) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:156) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:869) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11BaseProtocol.java:664) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.MasterSlaveWorkerThread.run(MasterSlaveWorkerThread.java:112) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613) The same application works ok on Tomcat 5.5. I believe this is related to Bug http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34034 . This bug is already fixed on Tomcat, but the way class org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.jasper.TagLibCache deals with entities may be the problem.
