Bug 59256

Summary:	SLF4J in default jarsToSkip value in catalina.properties too broad
Product:	Tomcat 8	Reporter:	David Scourfield <david.scourfield>
Component:	Catalina	Assignee:	Tomcat Developers Mailing List <dev>
Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	trivial
Priority:	P2
Version:	8.0.33

Description David Scourfield 2016-03-31 15:02:38 UTC

The default value for jarsToSkip in catalina.properties includes the following:

slf4j*.jar

However, SLF4J has a taglib contained in a jar called "slf4j-taglib-0.1RC.jar" which matches the pattern above.  Therefore, this taglib cannot be used within a Tomcat container without editing the container configuration files.

Suggest amending the default slf4j*.jar pattern to slf4j-api-*.jar instead.

Hi,

What do you think about including this specific jar to tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToScan instead of modifying tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToSkip?

Sure, something like: slf4j-taglib-*.jar

Comment 3 Violeta Georgieva 2016-04-01 10:28:47 UTC

Hi,

The fix will be available from 9.0.0.M5, 8.5.1 and 8.0.34 onwards.
