[Dspace-devel] De-support Tomcat 5.5 in DSpace 4.0?
Java EE 7 is released. Tomcat 8 will therefor be coming along sometime soon. Meaning that Tomcat 5.5 will reach EOL soon.* And (my ulterior motive) I need a ServletContext method that was introduced in servlet-api 2.5, while Tomcat 5.5 provides servlet-api 2.4. My selfish wishes aside, is it coming time to require a minimum of Tomcat 6.0? * Tomcat supports the latest major version and two prior, which will soon mean 6, 7, 8. -- Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-devel] De-support Tomcat 5.5 in DSpace 4.0?
Yes, I think it's logical to require Tomcat 6 or above in DSpace 4, for all the reasons you mention. I doubt there are many users on Tomcat 5.5 anymore (most OS package managers have Tomcat 6 or 7). Even if they did, we can recommend a Tomcat upgrade alongside their next DSpace upgrade. - Tim On 6/7/2013 1:14 PM, Mark H. Wood wrote: > Java EE 7 is released.

Further to this, I think that "Tomcat x.y" is really just an example of what we really depend on: servlet-api x.y and jsp-api x.y. Probably we should document it that way, giving examples of Tomcat, Jetty, and Resin versions which meet the API requirements. -- Mark H.

Hi Mark, you shouldn't forget that we can run into issues with new versions of Tomcat, like we did with Tomcat 7. So although we could recommend any future Tomcat version based on servlet-api support, in practice we will want to test it and confirm that it works. OTOH, we're quite untimely about testing new versions - take the example of postgres 9.x, where we have only 2 confirmations that it works successfully (no reports of problems), even though in theory it should. That's the only reason why nobody bumped the number in the official docs yet.

Our instances are on boxes that have been running as-is since 2008, thus Tomcat 5.5. I'm fine with the future DSpace release to migrate to the next standard servlet version. We're in the process of infrastructure migration, so us moving to the latest tomcat would be our plan too. So, +1 with kicking out old tomcat dependencies.
