Why did you give up? ZIP installation is a single command (either via CMD or UI shell). EXE installer is pretty straightforward, too. There's also a third-party installer that has a few more features including the ability to upgrade an existing installation. (I recommend against upgrading an existing installation specifically, but that's not a recommendation against that third-party installer.)

You should use Java 21 these days for anything new.

Did you read the migration guide for Tomcat 10.1? I would highly recommend going back to 9.0 for the time being. If you remove j2ee.jar, does your project compile? If not, what errors do you get (missing classes, of course, but what major packages are missing)? j2ee.jar sounds like an uber-jar with "everything we need in it" without any specificity. You should replace that with modern, separate libraries that support your application. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
