Configuration differentes between tomcat 4 and tomcat5

[Pedrito Alborote]

Please,

I have to migrate a tomcat4 to tomcat 5 but I don't have any idea what differences there is into the configuration files.

Thanks!

Why upgrade to Tomcat 5 when 6 and 7 are already out?

[Pedrito Alborote]

Because the customer wants tomcat 5 and not tomcat 6 or tomcat 7 ;)

Its not my decission

Thanks!!

This would be a good starting point: http://www.google.com/search?q=upgrading+from+tomcat+4+to+tomcat+5

Tell your customer that Tomcat 5.5 is largely unsupported these days, and that TC 7 has big advantages over TC 5.5. It's your responsibility as a consultant (or whatever capacity you have) to point out such things, even if the customer has a different opinion.
