Spring boot does not allow for Absolute paths for server.ssl.key-store when using tomcat 7

[lsamayoa]

Spring boot does not allow to use absolute paths for ssl certificates because the AbstractEndpoint.setKeyStoreFile inside tomcat does a relative path adjustment and since we never send the raw path, it will always do the adjustment (we send the url of the file so it will always begin with the protocol, file: in my case because of this line).
This is because of this specific line, where we turn the filepath given into a url Bug Line.

This is only true for Tomcat 7.

What version of Tomcat 7 are you using? I believe you may need 7.0.66 or later.

[lsamayoa]

You are correct. I was using version 7.0.55.
Version 7.0.65 still have that relative path check.
Version 7.0.66 of tomcat does not contain that line.

Could anyone suggest, am getting the similar issue with Tomcat.

SEVERE: Failed to load keystore type JKS with path /tmp/tomcat.5161001577291191019.9091/file:/tmp/tmp.Qjqu0t4Sof/key.p12 due to /tmp/tomcat.5161001577291191019.9091/file:/tmp/tmp.Qjqu0t4Sof/key.p12 (No such file or directory)

The boot strap script set a temp location for the key.p12 file at /tmp/tmp.Qjqu0t4Sof/key.p12. But for some reason tomcat is looking here /tmp/tomcat.5161001577291191019.9091/file:/tmp/tmp.Qjqu0t4Sof/key.p12

Am using <tomcat.version>8.0.33</tomcat.version> with Spring boot 1.3.5

It fails only during Resource lookup. If i use the FileInputStream it works fine.
