Thanks Chris. That does make sense. that's why I stated to review change logs prior to upgrades. -* "You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go." — Jeanette Rankin *- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jon McAlexander Sent from Proton Mail for Android. -------- Original Message -------- On Monday, 06/01/26 at 08:52 Christopher Schultz <[email protected]> wrote: Jon, Also: https://tomcat.apache.org/upgrading.html Specifically, the portions covering "minor upgrades". If you use a reverse-proxy along with the AJP protocol, I believe there will be a breaking change in there for you that will require a small change to your configuration. But, generally speaking, I would upgrade your Tomcat 9 installation in a test environment and proceed directly to testing. If your application works right away under the updated version, the whole thing will probably work. -chris On 5/29/26 3:35 AM, Jon McAlexander wrote: > Hi Tyler, > > In my experience rarely do you see issues with applications after upgrading unless you are using internal Tomcat methods or internal api calls that may have been deprecated.

So your binaries would be in CATALINA_HOME and your Instance/JVM Configuration would be in CATALINA_BASE. The way I do it is to set a Symbolic Link to my CATALINA_HOME location and then just update the link when I install a new release. (If needed). This way you don't have to muck with your configuration files and just need a restart for the new release to take affect. > > Hope this all helps, > > -* "You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go." — Jeanette Rankin *- > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Jon McAlexander > > Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) secure email. > > On Thursday, May 28th, 2026 at 15:29, Brian Proffitt <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Forwarded from [email protected].
