Tomcat upgrade to release 7.0.0.2#
Let's play a bit with Tomcat 7 and see if my apps are still working......
Download#
Download the usual way from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Split manager role#
If you are using conf/tomcat-users.xml, then split up the manager role in 4 roles:
..... <role rolename="manager"/> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-jmx"/> <role rolename="manager-status"/> ....
lib directory#
new are:
- ecj-3.6.jar (we use the Eclipse JDT compiler for JSP compilation, so we no longer require a full JDK, but a JRE insteed)
- tomcat-api.jar ((Interfaces shared by Catalina and Jasper)) :
metskem@gneisenau:/usr/local/tomcat/lib$ jar -tf tomcat-api.jar META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF org/ org/apache/ org/apache/tomcat/ org/apache/tomcat/buildutil/ org/apache/tomcat/jni/ org/apache/tomcat/util/ org/apache/tomcat/InstanceManager.class org/apache/tomcat/JarScanner.class org/apache/tomcat/JarScannerCallback.class org/apache/tomcat/PeriodicEventListener.class META-INF/NOTICE META-INF/LICENSE
We don't copy the old mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar, but download a fresh mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar from http://dev.mysql.com/ to the lib directory.
Starting up#
First remove *.bat from the bin directory (we don't need these for sure on linux).
The fire up the bin/startup.sh :
