How to upgrade Tomcat\Apache

[wes.s.grayson]

My application is running on Servoy 5.2.8. Our Information Systems group scanned my server and have mandated that I upgrade Apache to a newer version. Does anyone know how I would go about upgrading the Apache that comes bundled with Servoy?

thanks

Hi Wes,

From Servoy 6.1.0 and up you can export WAR files to existing application servers like Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish, etc.
Before that you couldn't use any other application server other than the one bundled with Servoy (i.e. Tomcat). Now I guess you could try to upgrade the Apache Tomcat server in 5.2.x but I don't know if that will work and/or is supported by Servoy. Perhaps Servoy can shed some light on this.
Anyway, I think the 'easiest' way to upgrade your Apache Tomcat server is to upgrade Servoy to, lets say, 7.3.x.

Hope this helps.

the server/lib dir can just be upgraded to a newer tomcat release,
The problem is that classpath wise (especially if the jump is big) can be a bit tricky, so you then need to check a few things (wrapper.conf or server batch files and maybe some other tomcat specific configuration files)
