Hi Mark
Thanks for responding. See answers below...
- what version of Apache Tomcat are you currently using? 7.0 on windows 2012
server
- where did you download this version from and was it a .zip, .exe or
something else? From apache web site, .exe
- what version of Apache Tomcat do you want to move to? 7.0_Tomcat7_99, windows
2012 server
- where did you download this version from and is it a .zip, .exe or
something else? Apache web site, .exe
So apache only releases full versions not upgrades? Does that mean if you run
the version 7.99 it will create a new folder under Apache Software Foundation
folder for 7.99 files? Since this would imply a change to the path for Tomcat
would registry or other tomcat config files need to be modified for the new
path? I assume all deployed .war files would need to be re-deployed in the new
version also?
Thanks for any help!
Mike

"Apache" normally means the "Apache HTTP Server Project" or "httpd". I'm
guessing from your second paragraph you are referring to Apache Tomcat - in
which case you are in the right place.
The Apache Tomcat team does not distribute patches - we only distribute full
versions. There are options for how to upgrade but none of them provided by the
Tomcat community are automated.
To help you (or point you in the right direction for help) we need to know:
- what version of Apache Tomcat are you currently using?
- where did you download this version from and was it a .zip, .exe or
something else?
- what version of Apache Tomcat do you want to move to?
- where did you download this version from and is it a .zip, .exe or
something else?
