+1 Tomcat 5.5 is no more supported, and will be removed from the site in a few days, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-55-eol.html Known security issues: http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html Migration guide: http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html Regarding someone running 5.5.9 with Java 7, 1. I think hardly anybody has such experience. 2. There certainly were several fixes in TC7 & TC6 to make it run with Java 7. The most important being http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1174884 None of such fixes were backported to 5.5. Whether they are relevant for you, I do not know. If you are going to upgrade Tomcat, I'd recommend Tomcat 7. It is tested better, I think there are more people running it with Java 7 than Tomcat 6, it has faster release cycle if anything needs fixing.
