We are in the process of upgrading from Tomcat 8.0.36 to Tomcat 9.0.37 for the samesite cookie issue. We found very few differences in the version except for a context (static) in server.xml for static content now gives a 404 in tomcat. I have checked the logs and it is getting past apache 2.4 to tomcat. I have tried adding crossContext="true" to all applications including static but it did not help.
The only change made to server.xml is secretRequired="false" I have seen a number of posts where other people have the same issue but I have not found any replies to the question.
