Yep.... there are lots :-D.... David, as long as you adhere to the
servlet specification, there won't be any problems at all (off course,
there's always a glitch here and there). I think servlets have been
sufficiently backwards compatible until now, however, that's my opinion
(i started using the tomcat 3 branch a long time ago and all the
knowledge i acquired since then has been of use to me on the 5 branch).

Hi,
Is there any particular incompatibility that concerns you? I have been
using the same apps basically from an early version of 4 with no
changes
required to upgrade other than small changes to web.xml etc to fall in
line
with the newer servlet specs which tomcat has to follow and is not in
the
Tomcat developers control.
I've been the same way, as a tomcat user. The key is in designing and
implementing your app to the Servlet Specification, minimizing
dependence on container-specific behavior.
If you are concerned then you don't need to upgrade, there are many
people
on this list still running versions 3 or 4 of tomcat. In fact, unless
you
are affected by bugs that are subsequently fixed or require the new
features or more performance there isnt really a good arguement to
upgrade.
Well, I'd argue there are many good reasons to keep upgrading, but there
are already enough other threads on the mailing list with that argument
;)
