This is probably answered somewhere, but will Tomcat 9 support Jakarta EE as well as Java EE? Sam Denton Advisor, Solutions Architect Mobile (314) 827-4017 24x7 SBS Suppot (405) 312-9936
Advanced Leave Notice: I will be out from Fri, 12/23, thru Fri, 12/30 -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2022 8:31 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: EOL of Apache Tomcat 8.5 & 9 done today (I keep getting distracted with other things). It will be 31 March 2024. Tomcat 9 is a special case. As the last major Tomcat version that supports Java EE (Tomcat 10 onwards supports Jakarta EE) we plan to handle it differently. The exact plan is somewhat vague as implementation is still multiple years (best guess 4+ years) away so while I have described this plan several times on the users list, don't be surprised if the details aren't always the same. 9.0.x will reach EOL in the usual way. Best guess for that is 31 March 2027 but that could be out by at least a year. At that point 9.10.x will be created which will: - continue to support Java EE 8 - be as closely aligned to the 10.1.x code base as it can be while still supporting the Java EE 8 API To put it another way, 9.10.x will have all changes seen between 9.0.x and 10.1.x apart from the Java EE API which will remain unchanged.
