So, short question: What things should be taken into consideration while moving from tomcat 5.5.20 to 6.0.x? Is there sort of a "migration HOWTO" for this situation, or is it "just" rather straightforward, having backward-compatibility and a set of new features around?
I guess it really depends on what components you are using in your application. If you are using JSTL/JSF or plan to then, Tomcat 6.0.x is built according to Servlet 2.5/ JSP 2.1 spec according to this chart: http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html So, that means your project's web.xml should have the default namespace, xsi namespace and schema location to 2.5 --- this ensures proper evaluation of (Unified) EL <?xml version="1.0"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> </web-app> JSP 2.1 also supports Unified EL, so one can use JSF 2.1 and JSTL 1.2 in a seamless way. I haven't really tried this but have read about it in a few articles. Note that in Tomcat 5.5.x the web-app is considerably different as it conforms to Servlet 2.4 spec. The RELEASE-NOTES document , in the root folder of Tomcat 6.x covers a lot more. -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
