AIX version of Apache Tomcat 7.0.34 for RTC 4.0.1?
Accepted answer
I have used the tar.gz package in the past to update Tomcat. Here's how I've performed:
1) stop the application
2) unpack the new tomcat into the server directory of the install
3) mv tomcat tomcat.old
4) mv apache-tomcat-X-Y-Z tomcat (X,Y,Z can vary)
5) remove everything under the new tomcat/webapps
6) mv the content of tomcat.old/webapps to tomcat/webapps
7) copy the server.xml and key files from old tomcat to new.
8) start it up.
I find it safer to make a new install of tomcat and re-arrange the needed data. It's much quicker to restore to the prior configuration by simply changing the names of the tomcat directories (e.g. tomcat > tomcat.new , tomcat.old > tomcat)

We do have an old technote with instructions about how to upgrade Tomcat.

Hi Craig
Thank you. Is there is an AIX specific- special build of the Apache Tomcat code or something?
The reason is, in Apache Tomcat site, for 7.0.34 there is no specific download option for AIX. It's just a tag.gz file and I reckon this holds good for any flavour of UNIX? Will this be correct?
