This procedure explains how to upgrade a point release of Apache Tomcat. For more
information on the supported releases, see Compatible web application servers.
This procedure assumes the default installation path for Apache Tomcat with Talend Administration Center. If Apache Tomcat was
installed in a different location, make the appropriate path changes.
To upgrade Apache Tomcat to a newer release, the new files must be downloaded and must
replace the existing installation. Some files from the following folders will need to be
migrated:
-
\tac\apache-tomcat\conf
-
\tac\apache-tomcat\webapps
-
\tac\apache-tomcat\bin
Procedure
-
Download Apache Tomcat from Apache Tomcat website.
-
Check the Apache Tomcat configuration file differences from the Apache Tomcat
migration guide to verify there are no impacting differences.
-
Stop the Talend Administration Center.
-
Rename the existing apache-tomcat folder to
OLDapache-tomcat, for example.
Example: The folder name must not start with
apache.
-
Extract the new Apache Tomcat version to the apache-tomcat
folder using 7-Zip.
Make sure the file permissions are set appropriately and are the same
permissions set for OLDapache-tomcat.
-
Copy the OLDapache-tomcat\endorser folder to
\tac\apache-tomcat\.
-
Copy the contents of OLDapache-tomcat\conf to
\tac\apache-tomcat\conf.

Copy the contents of OLDapache-tomcat\webapps to
\tac\apache-tomcat\webapps.
