It's pretty painless, if your webapps are well-behaved.  Tomcat 7 is better at 
detecting errors (e.g., memory leaks) and enforcing compliance with the spec.  
Read the migration guide:

Never, never, never copy your current server.xml to a new version of Tomcat.  
(Can't emphasize that enough.)  Lots of configuration tags have changed, 
disappeared, or have been added.  Read the config docs for the target level, 
then apply the differences between your server.xml and the 5.5 original to the 
7.0 server.xml, adjusting for the aforementioned config changes.

And if you're still keeping <Context> elements in server.xml, now is your 
opportunity to eliminate that archaic behavior.
