Question:
Is there an easy way to bump a working Tomcat installation from one
release to another, without benefit of Linux "apt-get" or "yum," or
WinDoze "cab" (this is an OS/400 installation), without having to
rebuild the whole configuration (webapps, keystore, server.xml,
web.xml, &c.) from scratch?
Depending on the changes in your configuration and changes introduced
between your "come from" version versus the "go to" version.
IMHO the easiest way to figure out is to download your source and target
version of vanilla tomcat and compare them with a diff tool. Pay special
attention to the conf folder, and if any of the changes there are actual
changes or in comments/documentation.
That will show you if
* it's enough to replace files
* you should delete files
* the default configuration of tomcat has changed and you'll need to
validate if you need to bring those changes forward.
Of course, you'll also need to compare your current custom installation
with the source version, to figure out which files you use
out-of-the-box, and which ones you have changed.
It's hard to be more specific with this generic question.
