How I love Tomcat (did I say love? I hate it)

This is not the first time that Tomcat team decided to make our life easier and change the way Tomcat 6 works (compared to T5.5)

A couple of notes from our (just finished) session on how to make JeromeDL working on T6.

1. apart from small changes required here and there in JSP (like changing ${ (test)?one:two} -> ${ (test)?(one):(two)} ) - T6 seems to be much faster than T5.5



2. T6 introduced new way (they say it is a features) of handling internationalization, but it breaks common sense way of how fmt:bundle worked. Now, you cannot do .getKeys(), or bundle.keys - as this new object, that says it is a ResourceBundle is somehow mapped in EL to something behaving like a Map. so bundle.keys - returns ???keys??? indicating that such a translation has not been found - stupid.
   
   Together with Adam we wrote a helper function in Tag Lib to make sure we get Enumeration from bundle - it was required by JavaScript internationalization style we have e.g. in SSCF



3. T6 has problems with handling long URL that contains URLEncoded fragments. If you have %2F as a result of URL encoding a slash - it will fail to load the page, with error 400 -> wrong URL no Slash - again stupid. I will try to find some solution soon.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix point 3.
