There has been talk of integrating the migration tool into Tomcat 10 so if you drop in a Java EE 8 app it automagically converts it to Jakarta EE 9 before starting it. I'm guessing you'd prefer this to having to provide separate Java EE and Jakarta EE versions (even if all you had to do to create the Jakarta EE version was run it through the migration tool). On a related topic, it would be helpful to know if the migration tool successfully converts your app. Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
