Our management has directed us to upgrade our JRE to 1.5 from 1.4.2 because
they have "heard" that 1.5 has better memory management features. I am doing my
due diligence to present a plan on what it will take to get us there.
The question is how do I approach this ...
We have apache(2.0.59), Tomcat(5.0.30), and a few JVM based application
processes. Tomcat and the application processes use the same JRE(1.4.2).
- Is tomcat 5.0.30 supported with JRE 1.5? Is it as simple as updating the
startup scripts with the new JRE path?
- Should I be upgrading tomcat too since our version is not even supported(as
per ?
- What is the impact to the code? Is it all backward compatible and will work
with the new JRE/tomcat version?
- Where can I find a comparison of enhancements/improvements between various
tomcat versions? I saw the change log but its just too vast for me to digest...
- What is the impact to Apache/Mod_jk configurations?
