Description vizoere 2011-07-26 16:48:01 UTC

It appears that starting in version 7.0.16, HexUtils.class exists in tomcat-coyote.jar instead of its previous home, catalina.jar.

On page:  http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/realm-howto.html

Under Common Features > Digested Passwords
Current text:

To use either of the above techniques, the following jar files will need to be on your class path to make the RealmBase class available: 

$CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar 
$CATALINA_HOME/lib/catalina.jar 
$CATALINA_HOME/lib/tomcat-util.jar 


Needs to be updated to also include:
$CATALINA_HOME/lib/tomcat-coyote.jar

or move HexUtils into tomcat-util.jar

If making any change, note, that HexUtils is referenced by SecurityClassLoad (r1144031).


Apparently this was caused by removing duplicate HexUtils class in r1132702. Sorry for that.

Or use digest.sh|bat which handles this correctly. I'll update the docs to reference digest.bat|sh.

This has been fixed in 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.20 onwards.
