Any version of Tomcat will run on either a 32-bit or 64-bit JVM providing that that JVM meets the minimum Java version required by the version used of Tomcat. The Windows installer has supported 64-bit since 5.5.28. So the Windows installer provided by all current versions support 64-bit JVMs. <snip/> >> Long story short, next I'm trying to migrate from Tomcat 5.5.17 to Tomcat7. >> I see that the officially supported route is two paths, migrating/updating 1 >> level at a time, from Tomcat5.5 to Tomcat 6 and then from Tomcat6 to Tomcat7. The above statement is incorrect. The Tomcat community does not require migration one major version at a time. If anything, we'd recommend the exact opposite - upgrade to the latest available version. Migration of any well written web application from 5.5.x to 9.0.x is trivial.
