Less supported maybe. The rough guide is: - 7.0.x - enhancements, bug fixes & security fixes - 6.0.x - bug fixes & security fixes - 5.5.x - security fixes But that is only a very rough guide. A lot of enhancements are making it into 6.0.x and 5.5.x is still getting bug fixes. The last time the devs officially declared something unsupported (4.1.x) there was a 12 month notice period and I assume the same would be true when 5.5.x finally reaches end of life.

RE: Tomcat auf MS Cluster?
I agree with Mark, upgrade your Tomcat to a supported rev. If possible, go to the latest 6.0, otherwise, 5.5.x would be good, but it will become unsupported shortly when 7.0.x becomes official. I currently run production 5.5.29 in your environment, but using standalone servers, not clustered. Therefore, I can't offer any advice on the failover aspects. FTR: I use Java 1.6.0_20 64-bit for the JVM. For a standalone environment, this setup runs just fine. If you do stick with 5.0.28, you would need to get the 64-bit runtimes to replace the 32-bit versions that no doubt come with the 5.0.28 installer. Search the archives, I KNOW there are discussions on how to do that successfully. Or you can stick with the 32-bit runtimes and use a 32-bit java, but that kinda defeats the purpose of using a 64-bit OS doesn't it.

Tomcat auf MS Cluster?
Hello, we're planning to run Tomcat Apache 5.0.28 on a MS Server 2008 R2 64Bit Ent. Failover Cluster. Does anyone has productive experience on that? Does it work, How good does it work, .? Things to be aware of? (If required, Tomcat 6.* is possible but we'd prefer Tomcat 5.0.28 to start this project because we've most experience and know how with that one. Updating Tomcat later on is no big deal) Thank you for any inputs! // Stefan
