The Apache Tomcat team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M22 (beta).
Apache Tomcat 11 is an open source software implementation of the Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Server Pages, Jakarta Expression Language, Jakarta WebSocket, Jakarta Authentication and Jakarta Annotations specifications. Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta.*. This will almost certainly require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is available to aid this process. Apache Tomcat 11.0.0-M22 is a milestone release of the 11.0.x branch and has been made to provide users with early access to the new features in Apache Tomcat 11.0.x so that they may provide feedback. The notable changes compared to 11.0.0-M21 include: - Move OpenSSL support using FFM to a separate JAR named tomcat-coyote-ffm.jar that advertises Java 22 in its manifest. - When using include directives in a tag file packaged in a JAR file, ensure that the include directives are processed correctly. - Expand the implementation of the filter value of the Authenticator attribute allowCorsPreflight, so that it applies to all requests that match the configured URL patterns for the CORS filter, rather than only applying if the CORS filter is mapped to /* Please refer to the change log for the complete list of changes: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-11.0-doc/changelog.html Downloads: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-11.cgi Migration guides from Apache Tomcat 9.0.x and 10.1.x: http://tomcat.apache.org/migration.html Enjoy! - The Apache Tomcat team
