Apache Tomcat
The Apache Tomcat® software is an open source implementation
of the
Jakarta Servlet,
Jakarta Server Pages,
Jakarta Expression Language,
Jakarta WebSocket,
Jakarta Annotations and
Jakarta Authentication
specifications. These specifications are part of the
Jakarta EE platform.
The Jakarta EE platform is the evolution of the Java EE platform. Tomcat 10
and later implement specifications developed as part of Jakarta EE. Tomcat 9 and
earlier implement specifications developed as part of Java EE.
The Apache Tomcat software is developed in an open and participatory
environment and released under the
Apache License version 2. The
Apache Tomcat project is intended to be a collaboration of the best-of-breed
developers from around the world. We invite you to participate in this open
development project. To learn more about getting involved,

Apache Tomcat software powers numerous large-scale, mission-critical web
applications across a diverse range of industries and organizations. Some of
these users and their stories are listed on the

2022-01-20 Tomcat 10.0.16 Released
The Apache Tomcat Project is proud to announce the release of version 10.0.16
of Apache Tomcat. This release implements specifications that are part of the
Jakarta EE 9 platform.
Applications that run on Tomcat 9 and earlier will not run on Tomcat 10
without changes. Java EE based applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier
may be placed in the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee
directory and
Tomcat will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the
webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the
Apache Tomcat
migration tool for Jakarta EE tool which is also available as a separate
download for off-line use.
The notable changes in this release are:
- Add a recycling check in the input and output stream isReady to try to give
a more informative ISE when the facade has been recycled.
- Implement support for HTTP/1.1 upgrade when the request includes a body. The
maximum permitted size of the body is controlled by maxSavePostSize.
- Improve handling of various cases where one request/response processing
thread attempts to manage the asynchronous IO for a different
request/response
Full details of these changes, and all the other changes, are available in the
Tomcat 10
changelog.
