I've rarely seen an application that didn't compile with few or zero
changes with an updated version of Java. Same thing with the servlet
spec (although some questionable decisions from the servlet EG lead to
slightly different behavior).

Have you simply tried deploying your existing web application on
Tomcat 6, 7, or even 8? It's practically free to try (just spending
your own time), so why not give it a try? Tomcat 5.5 and the JVM you
are likely running it on have publicly-known vulnerabilities and
weaknesses and missing features that are likely making its continued
use a risk for both you and your clients.

Yes, the settings are the same for (almost) all Tomcat versions.

Specifically, what does "not able to handle UTF8 encoding" mean in
your case? The JVM handles the actual encoding, and it does a pretty
good job. What is it that's not working?
