Upgrading from tomcat 3.2.2 to 3.3.2 on Windows
Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find this topic in the archives. I'm also new to tomcat. I'm not a developer, but a member of our system verification team. I've been asked to evaluate what needs to be done to upgrade our current version of tomcat. Currently, our application is using tomcat 3.2.2 (I know - we need to get into the 21st century) The management team is looking to upgrade to 3.3.2 (baby steps - this is for a point release - our next major release we hope to convince them to at least use 5.0) Anyway, if I upgrade from 3.2.2 to 3.3.2, what is this buying me (improved performance - what) ? What is the best way to test (or should I just verify I didn't break anything that was previously working) ? What is the best way to upgrade (without loosing my customized xml/properties files) Is it good enough to look at what's currently in my 3.2.2 bin/conf/lib directories and just copy in the 3.3.2 versions of those files currently used ? Also, my current 3.2.2 has jk_nt_service.exe and isapi_redirect.dll in the bin directory, but I don't see these in the 3.3.2 bin. Where would I find these ? These look like they've been modified (according to the release notes), so I'm guessing I need to find them. Thank-you for your time and patience,

RE: Upgrading from tomcat 3.2.2 to 3.3.2 on Windows
Tomcat 3.3.x differs from 3.2.x in a number of important respects. It is likely you will have to port your customizations, rather than just copy them. To do so, you should familiarize yourself with the documentation, which may be found in your distribution or online here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/index.html The last prebuilt jk_nt_service.exe that I am aware of is found here: http://archive.apache.org/dist/jakarta/tomcat-3/archive/v3.3.1a/bin/win32/i386/ For Tomcat 3.3.2, you will need a newer version of isapi_redirect.dll. These may be found here: http://apache.roweboat.net/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/win32/ For its current documentation, see: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/ It is a bit sparse for IIS. However, I haven't kept up with jk changes, so I can't say how much of: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html still applies. Hopefully most.

RE: Upgrading from tomcat 3.2.2 to 3.3.2 on Windows
There are too many differences and too many what ifs to provide a practical upgrade document. You will need to assess what features and customizations you are using now in 3.2.2 and discover how the same thing or something equivalent may be accomplished in 3.3.2. Some things will be the same or similar, but some will be different. The only thing you should have any real problem with are customizations that depend on quirks in 3.2.2 that have been fixed or don't apply to 3.3.2.
