Download Apache Tomcat 10.0.0-M6 / 9.0.36 / 8.5.56

Apache Tomcat is a Web container developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Tomcat runs Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages, and provides an http web environment on which Java code can be run directly. For more information, please refer to this page. The developers have released versions 10.0.0-M6, 9.0.36, and 8.5.56 with the following announcements:

Tomcat 10.0.0-M6 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.0.0-M6 of Apache Tomcat. This release is a milestone release and is targeted at Jakarta EE 9.

Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta .*. This will almost certainly require code changes to enable applications to migrate from Tomcat 9 and earlier to Tomcat 10 and later. A migration tool is under development to aid this process.

The notable changes in this release are:

• Add support for ALPN on recent OpenJDK 8 releases.
• Add support for the CATALINA_OUT_CMD environment variable that defines a command to which captured stdout and stderr will be redirected. For use with, for example, rotatelogs. Patch provided by Harald Dunkel.
• Be more flexible with respect to the ordering of groups, roles and users in the tomcat-users.xml file

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 10 (alpha) changelog.

Tomcat 9.0.36 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 9.0.36 of Apache Tomcat. The notable changes compared to 9.0.35 include:

• Add support for ALPN on recent OpenJDK 8 releases.
• Add support for the CATALINA_OUT_CMD environment variable that defines a command to which captured stdout and stderr will be redirected. For use with, for example, rotatelogs. Patch provided by Harald Dunkel.
• Be more flexible with respect to the ordering of groups, roles and users in the tomcat-users.xml file

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 9 changelog.

Tomcat 8.5.56 Released

The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 8.5.56 of Apache Tomcat. Apache Tomcat 8.5.x replaces 8.0.x and includes new features pulled forward from Tomcat 9.0.x. The minimum Java version and implemented specification versions remain unchanged. The notable changes compared to 8.5.55 include:

• Add support for ALPN on recent OpenJDK 8 releases.
• Add support for the CATALINA_OUT_CMD environment variable that defines a command to which captured stdout and stderr will be redirected. For use with, for example, rotatelogs. Patch provided by Harald Dunkel.
• Be more flexible with respect to the ordering of groups, roles and users in the tomcat-users.xml file.

Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the Tomcat 8.5 changelog.
