The mid-tier installers will never upgrade Tomcat... ever. They will only install the current bundled version for each distribution of the mid-tier on an initial install - if you select to do that.
For my upgrade test, I installed Java 1.6.0_14 and Tomcat 6.0.20 on a web server, then mid-tier 7.1.00.002, which is what we have in production. We expect the change in Java and Tomcat to be a manual procedure. After upgrading the AR Server from 7.1.00.002 to 7.5.00.002 I did the same on the mid-tier and it was successful. Note that the upgrade moves the mid tier folder structure from \AR System\Mid-Tier\ to \AR System\midtier\ . Since I updated the Java first, I didn't see any issues with that; did you manually update your PATH statement after changing Java?; the environment has to be changed manually in most cases.

We used to have JRE 1.5.0_11 and JDK 1.5.0_11. I installed JRE 1.6.0_14 and JDK6 and pointed the installation to these folders at installation. After installing everything (and a reboot just for good measure), the configuration tool still shows that Java Version is 1.5.0_11. Another thing is that we are at version Tomcat 5.5.17, I was hoping that the Mid Tier installation would upgrade this to 5.5.25. (the config tool still shows 5.5.17) Should I installed Tomcat 5.5.25 separately, and how can I "point" the mid tier to Java Version 6?
