Ok, I'm totally new to Apache Tomcat; that's kind of all Greek to me.

When you say "drop a new webapp in a container", can you do that just by copying the WAR file from the current app into the new Tomcat folder? Or does a new WAR file need to be generated?

Hello All,

I manage an HP application that uses Apache Tomcat as a 3rd party
application. The installed Tomcat version is 7.0.53. Because of a recent
audit scan I have to update it to the most current version (7.0.69). HP
says - "not our application; we don't support it".

Is there an existing guide that describes how to update to a more recent
version within the same series? (7, in this case). Maybe I'm just missing
it but I cannot find anything that specific on the Apache Tomcat website.

Tomcat is installed on 64 bit Windows 2012.


Hi Paul,

just look at the Tomcat documentation on how you can install multiple
versions of Tomcat in parallel on the same Windows server. You do not
upgrade Tomcat, you install the latest version and then you drop you HP
webapps in the new container, provided you have configured it properly. In
fact, you can run both versions of Tomcat in parallel with the HP webapps
if you wish. I am doing this at will and I am also running a bunch of HP
web applications. You can also configure Tomcat to use whatever version of
Java you wish and again, you can have multiple versions of Java if needed.

Regards,
Daniel
