Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

If someone can prepare a backport, please follow the steps at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure to have 16.04
updated.

All the steps documented there need to be followed. In particular, I'm
concerned that we:

1) Explain the bug well enough so the SRU team (who are probably not
familiar with this package) can understand the real user impact in terms
of use case so they can make a decision as to whether backporting the
fix to stable releases justifies the regression risk to existing,
unaffected users.

2) Make sure that the fixing this in a stable Ubuntu release does not
regress existing users of the module not affected by this bug.

3) Have a test case that can be followed by someone not familiar with
the package for SRU verification purposes.

Title:
  StringIndexOutOfBoundsException - Tomcat8.0.32

Status in Tomcat7:
  Fix Released
Status in tomcat8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in tomcat8 source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  Tomcat 8.0.32 has a known and corrected bug

  https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58999

  which in some cases prevents a webapp from executing. I have
  encountered this error.  The fix will be to place a later version of
  Tomcat8 into the Ubuntu 16.04 repository.

  I encountered this error using:

  ----------------------------

  OpenVPMS 1.8.1 (veterinary practice management webapp)
  MySQL 5.7.13
  Open-jdk 1.8.0_91
  Tomcat 8.0.32 
  mysql-connector-java-5.1.39

  ----------------------------

  The webapp in this case (OpenVPMS) runs under tomcat7 but not under
  this specific version of Tomcat (8.0.32).  Instead, tomcat throws a
  404-/openvpms error.  The relevant portion of the tomcat log is:

  Caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 3
  	at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:658)
  	at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.filter(WebappClassLoaderBase.java:2780)
  	at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.loadClass(WebappClassLoaderBase.java:1253)

  Thank you.
