Tomcat upgradation from 5.5.20 to 5.5.34

[Deepak Mishra <de...@gmail.com>]

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

We are planning to upgrade tomcat from 5.5.20 to 5.5.34. As I have
never done this up-gradation was wondering if we can directly upgrade
from 5.5.20 to 5.5.34 or we need to go step by step. Also can you
please provide me the link to download the patch, mentioning the
specific s/w to be downloaded. We are using Windows 2003 OS.

Looking forward for your help!!!

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Mishra

It depends on how it is installed.

In general:
1. Install the new one (5.5.35, but better 6.x or 7.x)
2. Configure
3. Test
4. Switch to using the new one and uninstall the old.

If you were using separate CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE the upgrade
(between point releases) were easier. In short it were:
1. Review configuration changes between released Tomcat versions
2. Delete everything from work directory (so that JSPs are properly recompiled)
3. Reconfigure launcher to use different version

Hi Andre,

We have read about the Eod of life for Apache Tomcat but as per
company standard we need to follow the same.

If you can provide me information realted to the upgradation as
requested will be of great help.

The point is, as long as you are going to do some work in upgrading, you may want to 
consider instead :
- install a recent JVM
- install a new Tomcat 7.x (or 6.x at least)
- change the standard Tomcat settings to reflect what is special for you (do not just copy 
the old configuration files to the new server)
- move your applications to the new Tomcat
In the long term, that will save you a lot of work, along with giving you a better and 
faster Tomcat to work with.
