Actually, it looks like it is more than just a doco problem, as <Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" saveOnRestart="false"/> is still in the jira.xml files for Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6 in our EAR/WAR version.

I am going to test tomorrow whether the problem still actually occurs (I imagine that it does but we should be certain), and that making the change works and doesn't cause any other problems. I'll update the issue when I've done that.

Cheers,
Ian

Thank you very much for nagging us about this.

Kind regards,
Ian

While I'm away next week, could you please do this testing. That is, for JIRA EAR running in both Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6:

• Is the error message still displayed?

• Does it go away if you make the change as suggested in JRA-7755?

• Are there any other side-effects?

If the issue is fixed by the suggested change, can you please:

• assign the issue to Anton so that he can organise getting the files fixed for the next release of JIRA
• let Andrew and Rosie know so that Andrew can make the change in the JIRA documentation

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Ian

Jan 14, 2008 10:18:44 AM org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManagerBase start
SEVERE: No Store configured, persistence disabled

When the WAR is built from the 3.12.1 distribution the jira.xml for both 5.5 and 6.0 includes the following line:

<Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" saveOnRestart="false"/>

Which as Jeff has indicated should be changed to

<Manager pathname=""/>

There are no observable side-effects from this change.

The jira.xml generated by EAR/WAR 3.12.1 distribution (to be placed in $tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/jira.xml) includes the same config setting

This means that two changes need to be made:

1. The developers need to modify the Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6 jira.xml files. (That is why the issue is now assigned to Anton, so that he can schedule this.)

2. The Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6 documentation needs to be updated so that the sample files match the new ones we ship. Could you please make this change. You could get in before the developers and make the change. It is simply that:

<Manager className="org.apache.catalina.session.PersistentManager" saveOnRestart="false"/>

needs to be changed to:

<Manager pathname=""/>

Thanks.
