Installing or updating Apache Tomcat

Use the latest version of Apache Tomcat 9 to ensure your environment has the most recent security updates.

Note: Apache Tomcat 10 is not supported.

To install or update Apache Tomcat, complete these steps:

  1. If you are updating an existing SunSystems installation, all SunSystems users must be logged out and all SunSystems services must be stopped.
  2. Open https://tomcat.apache.org/download-90.cgi.
  3. Browse to Core under Binary Distributions, and click zip. This downloads the Apache Tomcat file, for example, apache-tomcat-9.0.65.zip.
    Note: You must use the core zip, not the Windows zip.
  4. Unzip and save the files to C:\SunSystemsPlatform or an equivalent folder.
  5. If you are updating java on an existing SunSystems installation, then you must specify the installation directory in the SUNSYS_TOMCAT_HOME environment variable and run Restart Services. If you are installing a new version of SunSystems, then SUNSYS_TOMCAT_HOME is set during the installation process.
  6. If required, run Restart Services.
