Moving from 4.1.27 to 5.0.28?
I am thinging of upgrading our prod Tomcat server from 4.1.27 to 5.0.28 (or is 5.5.4 a safer bet?) and I was wondering if there would be any problems when upgrading? Anything particular I should think of?

Anything particular I should think of? Regards, BTJ Personally I'm using 5.0.28 and I love it. I usually wait a couple of iterations after a major release like 5.5.x because of new things and bugs. 5.5.x is a rewrite of a bunch of underlying code said to improve performance, stabilization, and TOC. I usually give them time to air out some bugs, so I might switch to 5.5.x around 5.5.7/8/9 something like that. That's just a personal measure from my own experience with a code base and major changes. As far as being stable, I haven't had to restart Tomcat 5.0.28 in a long time. Not sure the number of days, but it's in the months, and that was just because of having to reboot the computer.

Hi, I'd say go to 5.0.28 first. One major revision at a time ;) TOC? Table of Contents?

That was one of the things the tomcat web site said about Tomcat 5.5. I assume that means it has some improvements to the manager and the administrator...?, or is the TCO reduction or assumed reduction a result of it being more stable with better performance, so lower resources are needed?

We've recently been writing the 'next version' of our main application, and the decision was made to target TC 5.0.x, up from 4.1.x. We experience no major difficulties in making that move, thouogh there can be a few gotchas. The one thing we noticed that changed (for the better) was error page handling. Others have reported small problems regarding TC 5's more strict interpretation of the spec in certain areas. As an example of this (though this is from memory!) I think someone had something like: jsp:include page=foo /jsp:include And that appealed to their sense of 'good coding' (like putting opening and closing braces on all blocks, including one line blocks). This worked in Tomcat 4.x, but not in 5.x So small things like that might catch you up, but otherwise nothing major. -Original Message- From: Bjørn T Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 7:08 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Moving from 4.1.27 to 5.0.28?

oki, thx :) The conclusion would be..: - upgrade to 5.0.28 is a good thing... - shouldn't be any/much problem doing this BTJ Mike Curwen wrote: We've recently been writing the 'next version' of our main application, and the decision was made to target TC 5.0.x, up from 4.1.x.

Anything particular I should think of? My advice is to redo your server.xml file from scratch... ...much safer and will cause you less headaches. I recently moved from Tomcat 4 to Tomcat 5 and had a few minor glitches until I took the time to recreate the server.xml file using the server.minimal.xml file in the same directory.
