We have been using Tomcat 7.0.25-7.0.33 for about 9 months now on Java 7. We haven't experienced any issues at all so far. Everything runs really smoothly. AFAIK, the most import question is, "does the vendor application you are running support Java 7?" Tomcat 7 runs well on Java 7, but the application you want to run in Tomcat may not run well on Java 7. Also, keep in mind that while Tomcat 7 does run well on Java 7, by default it compiles JSPs with a target version of Java 6. If the vendor application DOES support Java 7 and is meant to be compiled with Java 7, you may need to change compilerSourceVM and compilerTargetVM from the default value of "1.6" to "1.7". See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jasper-howto.html#Configuration for more information. Hope this helps, Nick This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information.
