When a servlet calls JspFactory.getPageContext() with JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER, Tomcat Japser throws IllegalArgumentException. PageContext pageContext = JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getPageContext(this, req, resp, null, false, JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER, true); java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Buffer size <= 0 org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl.<init>(JspWriterImpl.java:81) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl._initialize(PageContextImpl.java:154) org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.initialize(PageContextImpl.java:125) org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl.internalGetPageContext(JspFactoryImpl.java:112) org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl.getPageContext(JspFactoryImpl.java:65) dvt.jsp.jaspertest.JspFactoryTestServlet.doGet(JspFactoryTestServlet.java:21) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:621) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:728) Based on the description of JspFactory.getPageContext(), if buffer size is JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER(-1), PageContext must treat it as implementation default, which in case is org.apache.jasper.Constants#DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE(8192). buffer - size of buffer in bytes, JspWriter.NO_BUFFER if no buffer, JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER if implementation default. from http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/jsp/JspFactory.html#getPageContext(javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String, boolean, int, boolean) Note that -Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.JspFactoryImpl.USE_POOL=false should be specified.
Created attachment 31206 [details] Test Source I suggest that org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl needs to check if buffer size is JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER and adjust it to default. org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl#initialize(..) if (bufferSize == JspWriter.DEFAULT_BUFFER) { bufferSize = Constants.DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE; } if (this.baseOut == null) { this.baseOut = new JspWriterImpl(response, bufferSize, autoFlush); } else { this.baseOut.init(response, bufferSize, autoFlush); }
Thanks for the report and the suggested fix. I have committed the fix to 8.0.x along with a test case and it will be included in 8.0.0 onwards. The same change has been applied to 7.0.x and it will be included in 7.0.51 onwards.
As far as I am reading, such value can only be used when calling the JspFactory.getPageContext() API directly. The buffer size that can be used in JSP configurations (in a page directive or in jsp-property-group) is either "none" (0) or is measured in kilobytes. (ch. JSP.1.10.1, JSP.3.3.10) But I agree that this feature is a part of the API. Proposed for 6.0.
Fixed in 6.0.x for 6.0.40 onwards.
