I'd say a more robust (and the documented way) is to use a Tomcat-Home directory and a Tomcat-Base Directory. $CATALINA_HOME holds the actual distributed Tomcat-"Binaries" (ZIP/TGZ), $CATALINA_BASE holds your adapted config, libs and webapps. This way you can just exchange the CATALINA_HOME with a new version (say 8.5.15) and restart Tomcat. In case there are differences in configs between versions, adapt your conf using https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Tomcat_8.5.x_configuration_file_differences
I agree that separating the CATALINA_HOME from CATALINA_BASE is a much better setup, but if Tomcat was not set up like that already then for a minor upgrade this complicates the process.
The simplest way to upgrade is the one I documented. Regards, Igal Sapir Lucee Core Developer Lucee.org <http://lucee.org/>
