Welcome to the Tomcat community!  :D

I've been using Tomcat since .. I think .. around 2000-ish.  I've
always thought that I could solve any problem in IS using Tomcat, and
through the years I've found that to be true.  It's an amazing and
simple tool that many have tried to improve upon.  It's tough. :)

So, for a migration .. maybe some general rules of thumb to get you started.

Are you deploying a war file?  Is the war file assembled using ant or
some other tool?  Are you using a database connection pool?  As Olaf
indicated, it would be interesting to know how much the default
configuration has changed.  Tell us as much as you can about your
application and we'll be glad to help.

Are you deploying your application into the webapps folder, or are you
pointing Tomcat to another location with an expanded directory (tomcat
can deploy from a war file, which is basically a zipped archive of
your application, or you can just point it to a folder on your file
system and it'll deploy that .. pretty slick).

server.xml is the key, I think, to the migration.  Take a peek at the
documentation (connection pooling, connectors, and other syntax may
have changed).

I'm thinking about migrating to 8 soon myself.  Maybe I'll use this as
an opportunity to get started on that .. but I think the last time I
checked, OpenJDK 7 was supported on Wheezy, so I'm thinking I have
more to do than just upgrade tomcat in my scenario.  I'll need to
update linux, Java, tomcat, then finally my apps.  But I'm pretty CDO
(that's like OCD, but alphabetical) about the platform independence of
my apps, so that's going to be straightforward.

So, take a peek at the docs and start asking questions and tell us the
story of your application as much as you feel comfortable.

Good luck and again .. welcome!

John
