You do not upgrade Tomcat, you install the latest version and then you drop you HP webapps in the new container, provided you have configured it properly. In fact, you can run both versions of Tomcat in parallel with the HP webapps if you wish. I am doing this at will and I am also running a bunch of HP web applications. You can also configure Tomcat to use whatever version of Java you wish and again, you can have multiple versions of Java if needed. Regards, Daniel
