Description

Since Redmine 0.8.7 there is some problem at login (it's impossible) when running in a tomcat servlet container via jruby.

while up to 0.8.6 things work fine just as described here: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_install_Redmine_in_Apache_Tomcat, in 0.8.7 I get the following error in the tomcat logs(for plain tomcat from apache) or in the webbrowser, after I enter my username and password in the login form:

Also, running jruby script/server starts up a working Redmine system.

BTW, I also tried if I can reproduce the problem with the latest development version from github, but here I have problems with mysql driver gems:

I'm not a ruby expert, so I'm stuck here - but I can try again if I get a built of the development trunk that has all dependencies as the normal release downloads...

Just tested with JRuby 1.4.0 + mongrel and I can't reproduce.
Login works as expected with 0.8.7 or current trunk.

As I wrote, it's also not happening with Jruby and webrick.

So it seems it's at least tomcat - or maybe .war specific.

I can check and throw the .war into jBoss and see what's happening there to find that out.

It doesn't run in JBoss, either - but that is the same for all versions i tested - 0.8.0, 0.8.6, 0.8.7, so this is not the same problem.

Forgot to add: the error messgae is also a totally different one!

Another difference appearing since 0.8.7 that might have something to do with this but I forgot to mention:

When first trying to build the war with warble, I got this message:

$ ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin/warble 
rake aborted!
/data/produktion/tmp/rails-tomcat-test/redmine-0.8.7/app/controllers/application.rb:29: Missing session secret. Please run 'rake config/initializers/session_store.rb' to generate one
/home/henning-old/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/warbler-0.9.14/lib/warbler/task.rb:40:in `initialize'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Doing as told in the error creates a file "config/initializers/session_store.rb", then warble get's the war built, but not working because the problem in this issue.

Some further checking, it's definitely the line 31 of application.rb:

protect_from_forgery :secret => session.first[:secret]

that creates the error.

(identified by removing changes between 0.8.6 and 0.8.7 and seeing when the error occurs)

Can you try to delete your cookies, then load or refresh the login page in your browser, then log in.

yes, no change - also with different browsers, that never logged in to the app etc.

I'm sorry but I have to close this ticket since I can't reproduce with a fresh Redmine+JRuby setup.

As I said(and even the topic says): The error does not occur when running scripts/server with plain JRuby, but when building a .war with warble and deploying it in a Tomcat Servlet container.

I believe very much, if you try it like this, you'll be able top reproduce it.

Also, I see no necessity why this bug must be closed right now.
I already invested quite a bit of time in solving it, and will continue to do so, as I need to run redmine in Tomcat.

I even tracked down the exact line that leads to the error, and I probably will look further into it and give more hints. It must have something to do with session handling.

Maybe, when run in tomcat, tomcat's builtin session handling is before everything, and so the sessions checking inside the redmine app fails. So maybe, session checking must be turned off when running in a servlet container.

Tomcat is a very common way of running Web Applications in java, so if you are interested at all in supporting redmine being run on the java platform with JRuby, this might be one of the most important ways.

A further hint on that ( I do not understand yet, but will look into):

I was able to reproduce with 0.8.7 release + Tomcat 6.
It works with current Redmine trunk (which uses Rails 2.3.4) and thus with the upcoming 0.9 release.

Thanks a lot for testing!

Sorry, I tried that, too, but didn't succeed as written above.

So, let's close this issue...

Make sure that all your environments in database.yml use the jdbcmysql adapter, not mysql.
