Yup.

 I do not see how Tomcat or any other web- / application-server should
 support such a standard: It's the application (here: servlet or jsp)
 which has to be able to support your favourite ICD-code.

Right.

 Therefore, ask the provider of your software dealing with ICD-codes
 wether it's ICD-10 compliant or not.

Uh huh.

The short answer is: yes, Tomcat has been ready for the ICD-10 migration
since it was first written.

 Please indicate if there is a document that references Apache Tomcat icd-10
 support as my searches of the Tomcat FAQ and Tomcat related websites have
 not produced any hits. My US based employer is a health care based
 organization that requires that we research every application to determine
 if there is a roadmap to support the migration to icd-10 by 2013.   My
 initial response to my employer that there is a low likelihood of any issue
 with Tomcat and icd-10 was rejected as not being sufficiently 'official'.
  Thank you.


I presume your employer has made similar searches of the Microsoft, Sun etc.
sites, and has obtained documentary proof that Windows, Java, Microsoft
Office etc. will be ICD-10 compliant by 2013?

As an unofficial comment (I'm not an ASF committer, merely someone who's
used Tomcat and has dealt with a number of medical applications), I'm not
aware of anything in any version of Apache Tomcat or its connectors that is
specific to any clinical coding system, and therefore I would not expect any
Tomcat-related issues running a web application in Tomcat that used ICD-9,
ICD-10, ICD-O, SNOMED-CT, SNOMED-RT, Read4, Read5, scans of handwritten
documents or any other way of encoding clinical information.  As Mark says,
the issues will be in the applications, not in the containers that run them.

It is irrelevant. Tomcat doesn't give two hoots about the data it is
processing. It is the application(s) you choose to run on Tomcat that
would need to be compliant.
