Description

Using Tomcat Manager we have fallen in a known problem:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/windows.html#lock
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29526
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg00474.html

The solution is to use URLConnection instead of URL to read the inputStream and
set to false the UseCache boolean.

Here is the patch for method parseModuleConfigFile(Digester digester, URL url)

26a27
> import java.net.URLConnection;
741c742,745
< input = url.openStream();
—
> URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
> conn.setUseCaches(false);
> conn.connect();
> input = conn.getInputStream();

Thanks for a quick submit,
Filippo
