API Developer Portal v3.5 CR4: <Resource> attributes are incorrect in the Tomcat server.xml

Products

• CA API Developer Portal
• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

API Developer Portal 3.5 includes Apache Tomcat/6.0.39 initially.
And, v3.5 CR4 or later includes Apache Tomcat/8.5.14.
This article explains changes of some attribute names in server.xml between them.

What version of Apache Tomcat is used in API Developer Portal 3.5 ?

Environment

API Developer Portal v3.5

Resolution

API Developer Portal 3.5 includes Apache Tomcat as following:

Non-CR to CR3	Apache Tomcat/6.0.39
CR4 or later	Apache Tomcat/8.5.14

When upgrading to CR4 or later from the earlier version, you may find that some attribute names of <Resource> element are incorrect in Tomcat server.xml file.
 

File location: /opt/Deployments/lrs/server/conf/server.xml
 

Attribute name to be corrected:

Original Name	Correct Name
maxActive	maxTotal
maxWait	maxWaitMillis
validateQuery	validationQuery

*Note:
The "validateQuery" is an incorrect value even for Tomcat 6.0.39.
validationQuery is the correct attribute for Tomcat 6.0.39 and 8.5.
The presence of validateQuery in the server.xml of old Portal is a bug.
If you are using CR4 or earlier Portal 3.5 (or Portal 3.1) you also have to modify the validateQuery.
