Migration from 4.1.x to Tomcat 5
Hi, which are the key anspects I shall keep in mind when migrating from
Tomcat 4.1.xx to version 5, keeping in mind that I'm developing Struts
application?
Which are the key technology anspects I shall review in my project
architecture, particularly related to:
1) Servlets/JSP
2) Taglibs
3) Tomcat starting and stopping
4) WAR deployment
5) Security
At present I deploy a WAR under webapps with taglibs defined in the web.xml
file and make use of my personal security model (is there any reason Tomcat
5 should make things easier?), I stop and start it as a service (still
available?).
Will be JSTL and JSF natively implemented? Could I just drop my application
from Tomcat 4.1.xx to Tomcat 5 without problems?
Thanks for any reply,
Marco

Tomcat 5 is backwards compatible, but JSP-2.0 is so cool, that you should
consider migrating your apps to it.

See answer to 1).

This has been improved in Tomcat 5, especially when using the Manager
web-app.

Tomcat 5 allows for a much more restrictive sandbox than Tomcat 4.
