Tomcat compatibility based on OS
Hi -
I am looking to download open source Apache Tomcat 8.x version for Oracle Linux Server release 5.11
But I am struggling to get a compatibility matrix of open source Tomcat based on its supported OS.
Can you please help me here?!!?
Below is the Apache Tomcat Versions matrix showing JSP/Servlet specs.
Similarly can I get one for OS.

The answer to that is a 'maybe' because of the Red Hat distribution's tomcat-native builds which are included in the zip distribution. To get a real (official) answer though you need to open a support case instead of mailing the community list.

That's because Red Hat only build RPMs for rhel-6 and rhel-7 and the zip distribution includes tomcat-native built for the specific OS. If you download the zip and remove the tomcat-native then tomcat itself can run wherever though :) Whether or not that's a supported configuration is up to Red Hat, which is why I suggest a case to get an official answer.

Yep, as long as it's running on at least java 7.

Tomcat compatibility based on OS
Posted by "Mathur, Himanshu (GE, Corporate, consultant)" <Hi...@ge.com>.
Thanx much Chris for your fast response.
Can you also confirm that same logic applies to REDHAT provide Tomcat the JBoss Enterprise Web Server?
While downloading tomcat from RedHat portal ,
Web Server 2.1.0 show the option to download tomcat 7 for "RHEL 5"
But I need tomcat 8, so in Redhat portal it don't give any option to download "tomcat 8 for RHEL 5" but it do show the option to download "tomcat 8 for RHEL 6/7" x86_64.
So you mean even if I download the Redhat provided Tomcat 8 for RHEL6/7, it will work with RHEL5 as well?
Thanks & Regards,
Himanshu Mathur

Tomcat is compatible with Java versions, not with specific operating systems. If you have a supported Java version for your OS, then Tomcat will run in it as well.
I'm confident, for example, that Tomcat 8.x will run on Oracle Linux 5.x as long as you have Java 7 or higher installed.
