-------------------------------------------
+1 on the idea.
> 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.|https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-60-eol.html]
> 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.
