Description Daniel Berrangé 2004-02-03 13:00:03 UTC
Description of problem:
If you view a published content item, then go and view the page for a
different item, it'll show the first item still. In fact no matter
which item you try to view it will always show the first one to be
viewed after server startup. This only happens on Tomcat 4.1. We have
similar problems viewing categories in London Navigation application.
Developer support shows that different queries are being run, but the
ultimate XML output for the page is always identical!!!!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create and publish item 'foo'
2. Create and publish item 'bar
3. View item 'foo' - /content/foo.en
4. View item 'bar' - /content/bar.en
  
Actual results:
When viewing 'bar' it shows details for 'foo'

Expected results:
When viewing 'bar' it shows details for 'bar'

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2004-02-03 16:01:04 UTC
It turns out that if you have a JSP tag

  <foo:bar>

Then, rather than creating the object corresponding to foo:bar on
every request, it is valid for the servlet container to keep a pool of
pre-created objects around. The bebop JSP ShowAll tag has a dubious
piece of code:

   if (m_inputDoc == null) {
        m_inputDoc = (com.arsdigita.xml.Document)pageContext.getRequest()
            .getAttribute(INPUT_DOC_ATTRIBUTE);
    }

Now since the Tag object can be cached, the effect this has is that
this tag object will always output the same XML! Tomcat 4.0 and Resin
don't  do JSP tag object caching, hence why we've not seen this
before. Resolver in p4 40010

Verified on 4.1.
