[Bug 1012794] Re: DataSource JNDI lookup with javax.naming.Name failed

[James Page]

** Description changed:

- I realize that Tomcat was just upgraded to 7.0.26, but there are a few
- fixes in Tomcat 7.0.27, specifically issue 52830
- (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52830) which causes
- a big problem for people, like me, who are trying to use the Tomcat
- connection pool with Hibernate 4.x, which fails without this fix.
+ [Impact]
+ Users of tomcat7 are unable to deploy applications which use Name instead of String to complete JNDI lookups. This includes applications which make use of the most recent version of the popular hibernate ORM framework.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ sudo apt-get install tomcat7 libhsqldb-java
+ sudo ln -s /usr/share/hsqldb.jar /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/hsqldb.jar
+ sudo wget "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1012794/+attachment/3214186/+files/ubuntu-test.war" -O /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ubuntu-test.war
+ sudo service tomcat7 restart
+ 
+ goto : http://localhost:8080/ubuntu-test
+ >> Big stack trace.....
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal - the change is isolated to JNDI lookups by Name and is in later versions of tomcat7.
+ 
+ >> Original Bug Report <<

  Currently I updated my deployment by hand, but I would much rather have
  a proper package.  I can't find a PPA, and my skill set is nil in terms
  of the ability to create my own PPA for this.  Many thanks!
