Preface

If you think you found a bug, please first read this page.

Questions

1. I have a bug, what do I do?
2. Why does feature ABC work in Servlet Container XYZ but not in Tomcat?
3. I submitted a bug, why is it ignored?
4. What does it mean to contact the user list?

...

Unless you have the source code reference in Tomcat which is wrong, it may not be a bug. E-mail the Tomcat user list and confirm its a bug. Also read this first from the tomcat site about reporting a bug.

...

There could be a good chance that the other servlet container could be implementing the spec wrong. For help, please consult the Tomcat user list.

...

If you are reading this - you were probably instructed to contact the user list for help. Bugzilla is not a support forum. Bugzilla is intended to fix "real bugs" in Tomcat. It is not intended to help you diagnose errors you are experiencing. The outcome of a diagnosis can be a new bug in Bugzilla. Configuration questions do not belong in Bugzilla. See Tomcat User for what the Tomcat User list is.
