The link to the wiki sends you to http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/TomcatVersions which I believe answers your questions. You might want to ask the software vendor about compatibility with Tomcat 5.5 or 6.0. Tomcat 6.0 has been available for over 2 years, Tomcat 5.5 available for more than 8 (!). My experience was that moving from TC 4.1 to 5.5 was as simple as dumping all app-specific configuration from server.xml (basically, starting over from scratch with the vendor-supplied config) and moving that configuration into my webapp's context.xml (which is a Tomcat-specific deployment descriptor of sorts). I suspect that upgrading from 4.x to 5.5 or even 6.0 won't be too bad. The servlet specification itself is backward-compatible for all but the most esoteric issues. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklCwCIACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAwcACgqL74OWFwCSDsHAqlNaZf0hQC Fb4AnA02H4BRaU+f3rHtxyJYmAV40H/I =BqNJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
