The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M3 (alpha).
Apache Tomcat 11 is an open source software implementation of the Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language, Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations specifications. Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is under development to aid this process. Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M3 is a first milestone release of the 11.0.x branch and has been made to provide users with early access to the new features in Apache Tomcat 11.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The notable changes compared to 11.0.0-M1 include: - Increase the minimum supported Java version to Java 17. - Remove support for starting Tomcat under a SecurityManager. - Remove JAX-RPC support which was removed from the Jakarta EE platform for Jakarta EE 9 Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-11.0-doc/changelog.html Downloads: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-11.cgi Migration guides from Apache Tomcat 8.5.x, 9.0.x and 10.1.x: http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html Enjoy! - The Apache Tomcat team
