OpenLogic Apache Tomcat LTS

Apache Tomcat is an open-source Java Servlet and JSP container implementing Jakarta or Java EE specifications (Servlet, JSP, WebSocket, EL). The topics in this section provide instructions for managing Apache Tomcat under OpenLogic’s Long-Term Support (LTS) service.

Core components

• Catalina – Servlet Engine

• Coyote – HTTP Connector

• Jasper – JSP Compiler

Typical deployments include standalone servers, embedded runtimes (for example: Spring Boot), and clustered environments.

Service features

With the EOL of the community-maintained Apache Tomcat, OpenLogic took private ownership of the community-maintained releases: 8.5.100.

OpenLogic then set up this release under a version control system and CI/CD configuration to build, secure, and test new internally developed updates and patches of post-EOL Apache Tomcat.

OpenLogic’s Tomcat Long-Term Support provides internally maintained versions of post-EOL Tomcat. It includes the Apache Tomcat for core modules receiving patches for medium and high-severity vulnerabilities.

The newly patched, built, and tested versions of Tomcat are made available to customers in a private repository.

For support needs on non-core modules, contact your OpenLogic Account Executive.
