Re: [dspace-tech] DSpace 5.x on Ubuntu 20.04 and Tomcat 9

[Alan Orth]

Hi Agustina,

Yes I suspect you will run into some problems. There were many issues with
DSpace 5.x on Tomcat versions beyond 7. As of DSpace 6 you can use Tomcat
8.5, but I haven't heard of anyone using Tomcat 9. For what it's worth, we
are running Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 18.04 via a binary distribution from
Apache's website (https://tomcat.apache.org/). I deploy the Tomcat tarball
into /usr/local and run it from there. This method works on any Linux
distribution. I created systemd service units that run Tomcat and it all
works really well actually, and I'm running the latest stable Tomcat 7. I
can share more tips and configs if you'd like.

Regards,

Hello,

as an addition: we run DSpace 6.3 on Debian 10 with Tomcat 9 (from distro 
package sources). 

Kind regards,

Hi Alan, Paul,

Many thanks for the information. Alan, do you have examples of issues 
people reported / you've experienced?

We've had DSpace 5.10 running on a test environment with Tomcat 9 and have 
been testing and haven't experienced any issue so far.

Best and many thanks!
Agustina

Re: [dspace-tech] DSpace 5.x on Ubuntu 20.04 and Tomcat 9

[Alan Orth]

Dear Agustina,

I looked in the DSpace Jira briefly and found these two issues:

- Failure to set dspace.current.user.id session cookie under Tomcat 8.5.x:
https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-4140
- Stop relying on alphabetical loading of jars in WEB-INF/lib:
https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-2437
- DSpace 6.3 REST-API fail to start on ubuntu 18.04 LTS's tomcat8:
https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-4160
- Meta issue tracking various Tomcat 8 issues:
https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-3092

Some of these are unresolved and some people report they are running on
Tomcat 8. I'm surprised to hear that! Good news if so... we need to move
with the ecosystem.

Regards,

Re: [dspace-tech] DSpace 5.x on Ubuntu 20.04 and Tomcat 9

[amgc...@gmail.com]

Dear Alan,

This is really useful so big thank you. I was aware of the alphabetical 
loading of jars issue (which I've overcome by using context files and the 
preloading of the additions jar) but there's still all of the other that I 
wasn't aware of.

Best,
Agustina

 We are upgrading our DSpace VMs to Ubuntu 20.04 and discovered that 
 Tomcat 8 is no longer available in the repositories, only from Tomcat 9.x.

 Is anyone currently running DSpace 5.10 in Ubuntu 20.04 on Tomcat 9? It 
 would be useful to know whether it is working OK for you or you've 
 encountered any issues.

 Thanks a lot!
