OK. I went ahead and switched to Tomcat 9 for now so I could get my site up and running (https://www.philliprhodes.name/roller if anybody wants to follow along). I'll see if I can find some time to start poking at what it would take to make things work on Tomcat 10+. No promises, but if I can come up with the cycles I may at least be able to take a stab at it.
