@Mark Thomas,
Is it possible to consider that the minimum support time of Apache Tomcat 9.0.X
is until 2027 (10 years since Released)?
I'd say 2027 is a reasonable estimate of the likely EOL date for 9.0.x
but I'm not going to provide any guarantees on that.
The Tomcat community has committed to providing at least 12 months
notice of EOL of any major version.
More detail in the thread listed below against 9.0.x.
If long term support is your concern then I'd consider looking at Tomcat
10.1.x. It does require Java 11 (Tomcat 9.0.x requires Java 8) but it
will get you an additional ~3 years support.
I will take the opportunity to point out that what you get with Tomcat
is already pretty good.
- major versions support for ~10 years including new features, bug
fixes and security fixes
- monthly releases throughout that ~10 year period (with the odd gap)
- all reproducible bugs reported fixed in the next release (this is the
one where Tomcat really stands out)
- you can actually talk to the folks the maintain the code
If you really need 9.0.x and really need guarantees on dates then there
are commercial organizations that will sell you that service. Just make
sure you pick one that has the skills and in-depth Tomcat knowledge
necessary to deliver that support.
Mark
Thanks.
