Base version of Tomcat 7?

[James Morgan <ja...@gmail.com>]

Morning I have afew questions you may be able to help me with.

I have been struggling to find out what is the base version of tomcat 7
which is used as the embedded container. I eventually noticed it when
starting up my project in Maven and saw the following output:

*INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/7.0.30*

Is there any way for me to specify a different tomcat version to use, i.e.
if I wanted to use the latest 7.0.32 would I be able to override the
default tomcat version of 7.0.30?

If this is not the case is there a place do you have any plans to upgrade
the plugin to the latest version of tomcat? Again I did check your jira but
couldn't find any information or tasks releating to this problem.

Thanks for any help,

James

Which embedded container? Tomcat comes with classes that can be used
by *other code* to embed Tomcat in some other project, but Tomcat does
not embed itself in anything.

Are you using MTOMCAT for your builds?

I know absolutely nothing about Maven, but my understanding is that
pom.xml is magical and you can do things like just tell the POM that
you want Tomcat 7.0.32 instead of Tomcat 7.0.30 and Maven warps space
and time to make that happen.

My guess is that MTOMCAT is independent from Tomcat itself, and that
you can simply upgrade Tomcat and you'll get that version.

Hope that helps,
