------------------------------------
Summary: Figure out what to do about Tomcat 6 End of Life
Key: OOZIE-2317
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2317
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Robert Kanter
Tomcat 6 will be end of life on Dec 31 2016.
Even though that's a quite a while from now, it's best to stay ahead of things,
so it would be good if we looked into a plan for this.
Here are some options:
# Upgrade to Tomcat 7
# Upgrade to Tomcat 8
# Switch to embedded Jetty 9
I imagine upgrading to Tomcat 7/8 would be the easiest solution. I haven't
looked into it much, but I imagine the build and deploy process could remain
relatively the same; though we'd probably have to tweak some config files and
things. As for which version, Tomcat has [this
page|https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html] to help.
Switching to embedded Jetty 9 would require changing the build and deploy
process, though that might be a good thing given how that can be
complicated/confusing for users. And I know Tomcat makes things difficult for
our packaging team in Cloudera. Many other Hadoop projects use embedded Jetty
as well. We do know that Oozie runs properly in Jetty because our unit tests
use Jetty.
As part of this JIRA, the assignee should probably look into more specific
pros/cons of the options and we should all reach a consensus before moving
forward.
