Moving from Tomcat 5 to Tomcat 6
All, I just wanted to check and see if anyone has attempted to bring
Tomcat 5 up to Tomcat 6? Please let me know if you have.
In general, what are everyone's thoughts on making a move like this?
Is there anyone else out there who might benefit from having a 2.4
servlet container in there? Let me know.
Cheers,
Tim

Hi all,
I have created a new Jira issue and I have submitted a patch to
migrate to Tomcat 6:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1800
I'm testing it right now, but your reviews and comments would be very
much appreciated.

There are also both available in Geronimo (or IBM WASCE)

It's been a few years since we made the switch, so Jetty may have
caught up in that time. During that switch the biggest issue was that
Jetty only supported session replication (for fail-over purposes) if
run with JBoss, and Tomcat had a much better/cleaner implementation
that didn't require JBoss. I'm guessing they've changed that by now...
Jetty was also minimally maintained for a few years, so there was no
reason to consider changing back.
At this point I'd rather stick with Tomcat as the default, partly
because of popularity and partly because it is an ASF project. Of
course, if Jetty offers features that Tomcat doesn't at this point and
we like those, we should go for it and if the Tomcat guys notice maybe
it'll help them out with a "real world" case that could be interesting.
Either way, since there are two good containers I like the idea of
supporting both so that people can choose what they want to use.

I haven't tried updating Tomcat, but I did update the JettyContainer
to use jetty 6 (Servlet 2.5 / JSP 2.1) and I've been running it in
production with no problems.
Just out of curiosity, what were the reasons for switching the default
servlet container from Jetty to Tomcat a few years ago? Maybe those
features are in Jetty now, or issues have been fixed? I have no real
preference either way at this time, I was just wondering.
