How to make working tomcat 10.x with CF 2023

[chayan1313]

We are trying to run our application using tomcat 10 . However, we are getting some issue because of JAVA EE to jakarta migration.

Currently we are using :

Java: 17 

Tomcat : 10

CF : 2023 

Server : Windows 2019

JAVA EE to jakarta migration: We have tried with one third party migration tool (jakartaee-migration-1.0.8) to migrate the war file.

Result: Deployment issue was fixed(Context [/cfusion] startup failed due to previous errors) after the migration. However,not getting the new issue as admin page is not working.

Issue Details : http://localhost:8080/cfusion/CFIDE/adminnotinstalled.cfm?script=CF_ROOT/bin/cfpm.bat&module=adminis...  (HTTP ERROR 500)

javax/servlet/jsp/JspContext The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\CHAYAN\Local Setup\Apache\Tomcat-VSSInternal\webapps\cfusion\CFIDE\adminnotinstalled.cfm''

Could anyone please help/guide me to resolve this issue?

Hi @chayan1313 

Tomcat 10 is not a supported Application Server for ColdFusion 2023. You can use Tomcat 9.0.72 and later. Please check the support matrix

Thank You @Priyank Shrivastava. 

Yes, Currently our application is running well with Tomcat 9.0.84. 

We are planning to use Tomcat 10x in near future.

FWIW, I'll note that CF now supports Tomcat 9.0.85 as of a CF update released yesterday.  More at https://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion-discussions/now-live-adobe-coldfusion-2023-and-2021-march-....

Thank You @Charlie Arehart . I will upgrade the new tomcat version 9.0.85 for my project and verify.

Chayan, just beware in applying that update: there is a breaking change. See that thread or a blog post I did last night:

@chayan1313  Thanks, once the underlying Tomcat is upgraded to Tomcat 10, then support for Tomcat 10 as an external Application server will be available. Until then, you can use the latest version of Tomcat 9.0.x to run your Application Server.

Great. 

Thanks @Priyank Shrivastava.
