Most applications are today running on Apache 9 with Java 8.

We are planningit asa multi-step upgrade:

Phase 1 is a short term upgrade:

Step 1: Upgrade the Java environment on *Apache Tomcat 9.0.111*to Java 25 and the currently built applications as they are(most built with Java 8)

Step 2: Upgrade the applications to the same Java version as Tomcat use, in this case Java 25

Be careful with upgrading Tomcat to Java 25 but not upgrading your client applications (those not running within Tomcat) if you are using TLS or other cryptography. Between Java 8 and Java 25, lots of algorithms were disabled and you may find that the two cannot communicate unless you re-enable some things in Java 25 to make them backward-compatible.

You may also need to add some libraries to your application depending upon exactly what kinds of things you use. For example, if you use anything XML-RPC-related such as SOAP, then you will need to add libraries which used to be included along with the standard JVM library but now are shipped separately.

Phase 2 is a long term upgrade, and will be a larger project since it requires to move away from javax servlets:
