JDK 1.6 or JDK 1.7
All,
I am trying to decide whether to run Tomcat 7.0.33 on JDK 1.6 or JDK 1.7.
Tomcat-7 release notes say:
Tomcat 7.0 is designed to run on Java SE 6 and later
But I remember reading on this list about some issues folks are having with
JDK 1.7. Appreciate your advice.
We plan to run a vendor application on Tomcat but will customize it to
natch our needs, using JSPs.
Thanks.

We have been using Tomcat 7.0.25-7.0.33 for about 9 months now on Java 7. We haven't experienced any issues at all so far. Everything runs really smoothly.
AFAIK, the most import question is, "does the vendor application you are running support Java 7?" Tomcat 7 runs well on Java 7, but the application you want to run in Tomcat may not run well on Java 7.
Also, keep in mind that while Tomcat 7 does run well on Java 7, by default it compiles JSPs with a target version of Java 6. If the vendor application DOES support Java 7 and is meant to be compiled with Java 7, you may need to change compilerSourceVM and compilerTargetVM from the default value of "1.6" to "1.7". See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jasper-howto.html#Configuration for more information.
Hope this helps,
Nick

The first few releases of Java 1.7 had some things that broke a few
things badly. I believe those have all been corrected by now.
I've been using Oracle Java 1.7.0 64-bit JVM for a while (6 months?)
in development and I have had no problems at all. We have a non-Tomcat
server (Mule ESB) running on OpenJDK 1.7 in another development
environment and that seems to be very stable as well.
As always, test everything. I dunno how others do it, but I generally
run with a new major version of Java in my own, personal development
environment for about 6 months before we put it into our general
development environments. Then we run in development for a few
test/release cycles before we push it out to demo/production.
We do the same thing with Tomcat, actually. We're just about to go
into production with Tomcat 7 and probably a few months later, we'll
upgrade to Java 1.7 as well.
Just in time for Tomcat 8. ;)
Hope that helps,
