Hi All,

I have been thinking about upgrading my Tomcat 6.0.16
instance to the latest 6.0.20. I have been thinking about the best way
to do that. I have modified several config and shell files and suppose
I could just copy those to the 6.0.20 instance, but then I began to
wonder if I could just update the Tomcat specific files in my current
install location.

Is it acceptable as an upgrade method to just
copy the 6.0.20/lib/*.jar files into the existing 6.0.16/lib directory?
Basically, just overwrite the existing Tomcat 6.0.16 libraries with the
newer 6.0.20 libraries.

Is this an acceptable way to upgrade? What are the potential issues with this 
method?

Thanks in advance.
Thomas

There's no incremental upgrade process, but it's usually inadvisable to copy jar files over the top of the old ones, do so at your own risk.

bin/setenv.sh is a good location to do custom config for the shell scripts. I usually copy that straight over, but rewrite server.xml & context.xml.
