뚱2's Story

Apache Tomcat is an open source software implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages technologies. Different versions of Apache Tomcat are available for different versions of the Servlet and JSP specifications. The mapping between the specifications and the respective Apache Tomcat versions is:

Servlet/JSP Spec	Apache Tomcat version	Actual release revision	Minimum Java Version
3.0/2.2	7.0.x	7.0.32	1.6
2.5/2.1	6.0.x	6.0.36	1.5
2.4/2.0	5.5.x	5.5.36	1.4
2.3/1.2	4.1.x (archived)	4.1.40 (archived)	1.3
2.2/1.1	3.3.x (archived)	3.3.2 (archived)	1.1

The releases are described in more detail below to help you determine which one is right for you. More details about each release can be found in the associated release notes.

Please note that although we offer downloads and documentation of older releases, such as Apache Tomcat 4.x, we strongly encourage users to use the latest stable version of Apache Tomcat whenever possible. We recognize that upgrading across major versions may not be a trivial task, and some support is still offered on the mailing list for users of old versions. However, because of the community-driven support approach, the older your version the less people would be interested or able to support you.
