Comment 6 David Knox 2013-05-08 17:07:04 UTC
it appears that adding 

permission java.lang.RuntimePermission \ "accessClassInPackage.org.apache.catalina.loader";

to catalina.policy would get past this instance, there
might be others though.

any chance of attaching the catalina.policy?

Comment 7 David Knox 2013-05-08 19:02:50 UTC
The forward slash is not part of the entry. it was added because the editor split the line.

Added DocText.

@David, can you please review the Doc Text content?

Comment 11 Misha H. Ali 2013-05-30 02:12:07 UTC
Removed Release Notes flag and need info. This bug is excluded from release notes as it is part of the internal group.

Comment 12 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-05-30 07:24:31 UTC
I have tried with a vanilla Tomcat (tc6.0.x) there is still the error.

Comment 13 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-05-30 07:47:07 UTC
And I don't find org.apache.catalina.loader in the patch files.

Comment 14 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-05-30 07:48:15 UTC
Created attachment 754702 [details]
patch for the issue.

Please add the patch to the spec files.

Comment 15 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-06-14 09:35:28 UTC
the Doc Text looks OK.

Comment 17 Jean-frederic Clere 2013-06-19 11:39:57 UTC
I have made it public.

catalina.out

catalina.out from running tomcat with security manager on IBMJDK from EWS-2.0.1-CR3

Comment 19 Michal Haško 2013-06-25 08:41:31 UTC
Bug still present in 2.0.1-CR3

Comment 20 Rémy Maucherat 2013-06-25 14:39:38 UTC
Looking at the out, it seems there are two separate issues.

- A JULI initialization issue that I have no particular idea about right now:
Jun 24, 2013 10:19:19 AM org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager readConfiguration
WARNING: Reading logging.properties is not permitted in some context. See "per context logging" in the default catalina.policy file.
Jun 24, 2013 10:19:19 AM org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager readConfiguration
WARNING: Original error was: Access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.org.apache.catalina.loader)

- The "main" issue regarding reading back persisted session objects. IMO, you can only reproduce it if custom objects [from webapp classes] were put into the session (and then serialized). To fix it, I would try preloading org.apache.catalina.loader.ResourceEntry through SecurityClassLoad first, since it is a NCDF, not a simpler class not found.

Did someone actually manage to reproduce this ? It's probably not so simple.

Comment 21 David Knox 2013-06-27 16:47:14 UTC
I have verified by site and function the patches for rhbz#901801 and rhbz#927930 are being applied correctly and I could not reproduce the issue using openjdk 1.6, tomcat7-7.0.40-5

if the problem exists for only the IBM JDK, i recommend the issue be reported to IBM. (currently the ibm site for download and support requires a UID and password. Despite creating an account i could not get access to these areas.)

Comment 22 Michal Haško 2013-06-28 07:03:30 UTC

Using QA test suite this is *only* reproducible on IBM JDK and *not* OpenJDK and OracleJDK.

Comment 23 David Knox 2013-06-28 18:27:19 UTC
Michal, since you have the details it would be efficient if you could report this upstream. I don't mind logging the bz, i just think first hand knowledge is always better than second hand knowledge. 

As part of the information for the new bz, could you add 

TOMCAT_OPTS=-Djava.security.debug=access,failure

in /etc/tomcat7/tomcat7.conf. it will fill catalina.out
with a ton of output.

Comment 24 Mandar Joshi 2013-07-01 06:15:09 UTC
Updated the doc text. Bug moved from fixed to known issue.

@lfuka,  can you please review the Doc Text content?
