JSP error "quoted with ' which must be escaped"

Tomcat versions 6.0.17 and up can produce error "Attribute value "['" + CONFIGURATION_COUNTER.getName() + "']" is quoted with ' which must be escaped when used within the value." on rendering TeamCity pages. Please use Tomcat 6.0.16 or add the following property to Tomcat JVM options: -Dorg.apache.jasper.compiler.Parser.STRICT_QUOTE_ESCAPING=false

Logging with Log4J in your tests

If you use Log4J logging in your tests, in some cases you may miss Log4J output from your logs. In such cases, please do the following:

• Use Log4J 1.2.12 and you're done
• For Log4J 1.2.13+, add parameter "Follow=true" for console appender, used in Log4J configuration:

  <appender name="CONSOLE" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
    <param name="Follow" value="true"/>
  </appender>

Code Snapshots Highlighting

The code snapshots displayed in the diff view and duplicates code fragments are highlighted using Colorer native library. For the time being the library does not support 64 bit platforms. However, this can be workarounded by running TeamCity server under 32 bit JVM in 64 bit OS.

NUnit 2.4.6 Performance

Due to an issue in NUnit 2.4.6 (bundled), it's performance may be slower than NUnit 2.4.1. For additional information, please refer to the corresponding issue in our tracker: TW-4709

StarTeam Performance

Using StarTeam SDK 9.0 instead of StarTeam SDK 9.3 on the TeamCity server can significantly improve VCS performance when there is a slow link between TeamCity and StarTeam servers.

Agent service can exit on user logout under Windows x64

Used version of Java Service Wrapper does not fully support Windows 64 and this causes agent launcher process to be killed on user logout. The agent itself will be functional until next restart (server upgrade or agent properties change).
