I don't mean to belabor the point, but upgrading from Tomcat 5.5 to 6.0
should have been this easy:

0. Stop Tomcat 5.5
1. Install Tomcat 6.0
2. Copy yourapp.war from Tomcat 5.5\webapps -> Tomcat 6.0\webapps

If my original installation was that simple, it would have been. Unfortunately, that's not where my .war was to start with, and I also need to create an additional context path for it.


3. Start Tomcat 6.0

Here are some potential things you'd have to change:

1. Copy JDBC library from Tomcat 5.5\common\lib into Tomcat 6.0\lib

Yes, I figured that one out.


2. <Connector> port numbers in Tomcat 6.0\conf\server.xml

No problem there; that didn't change.


3. Cluster configuration in server.xml

Don't use clusters.


4. Global environment entries in server.xml

After using it for a while, I decided global environment entries were too cumbersome to handle in the server.xml, so I came up with my own .properties file that I use with the java.util.properties class. Makes it much easier to change (and particularly add new ones).




A document that might add to the above:
http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html

5. In Tomcat 5.5 the commons-logging library was bundled with Tomcat
and was visible to all installed applications. In Tomcat 6 you have to
deploy it explicitly, if your application uses it.
