[ANN] Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M5 available
The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache
Tomcat 10.0.0-M5.
Apache Tomcat 10 is an open source software implementation of the
Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations
specifications.
Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move
from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the
Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has
changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require
code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier
to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is under development to aid
this process.
Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M5 is a milestone release of the 10.0.x
branch and has been made to provide users with early access to the new
features in Apache Tomcat 10.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The
notable changes compared to 10.0.0-M4 include:
- Remove useAprConnector flag from AprLifecycleListener so that the
only way to use the APR connectors is to set the full class name.
- Change default value separator for property replacement to ":-"
due to possible conflicts. The syntax is now "${name:-default}".
- Update the packaged version of the Tomcat Native Library to 1.2.24.
Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes:

Enjoy!

That depends on the timeline for Jakarta EE 9. Once that has a final
release (hopefully later this year but not the originally scheduled
June) then we'll probably have a couple of beta releases of 10 before
calling it stable.
There is one recent API tweak in WebSocket I need to make in Tomcat 10
but otherwise it is pretty much done. Last time I ran the TCKs I found
more issues in the TCKs than I did in Tomcat.
It looks like the TCKs Tomcat needs to worry about have been migrated to
the new package name and I started running tests with the nightly TCK
builds and Tomcat 10 yesterday. EL passed with Java 8 and Java 11 and
found a couple of bugs in the jakartaee-api.jar (PR already submitted).
Next up is WebSocket. Then JSP and Servlet.

The spec APIs can't change (apart from the package name) unless the
change is backwards compatible so those are essentially fixed.
The internal Tomcat API changes are done (at least the ones we've
thought of so far) and most of that was cleaning out old stuff.
I'd say Tomcat 10 was fairly stable at this point but that doens't rule
out us making major changes if we have a bright idea that needs it.
I'd probably go as far as creating a Tomcat 10 branch, doing the package
rename and checking that things still work but I'd stick with 9.0.x for
now in production.

Thanks for the announcement.
Is there any rough timeline or roadmap for a stable and/or release
version of Tomcat 10? (Sorry if this has been discussed here already.)
I'm in no rush. I just have an application with embedded Tomcat which is
due for another release soon, and I wondered whether it was time to
start looking into switching yet. Is Tomcat 10 pretty solid and the API
stable for simple embedded serving?
Thanks,
Garret
