 Description   

Can't switch to Tomcat 6 just yet - we're still "officially" depending on the Servlet 2.4 spec - but we should switch to 5.5.27, instead of 5.5.25

Comment by Fabrizio Giustina [ 16/Mar/09 ]

just a question: what does it mean that we can't switch to tomcat 6 since we depends on servlet 2.4?
Tomcat 6 is servlet 2.5 compliant, but that just means that it can also run any 2.4 webapp without problems... I don't think it will make any sense to switch to servlet 2.5 soon, but tomcat 6 IS definitively supported and it gives better performances over tomcat 5.5.

Comment by Magnolia International [ 17/Mar/09 ]

Yes, that comment is indeed misleading, and I'm not sure anymore what I meant exactly; probably that switching to Tomcat 6 might have been misleading as to what version of the spec we support. Another reason is also that Tomcat requires Java 5; Magnolia 4.0.x is still Java 1.4-compliant, and likewise, bundling with Tomcat 6 might have sent the wrong message.
4.1 will probably be Java 5-only, so we'll probably bundle with Tomcat 6 then, if not anything else.
