which tomcat version is suitable for java 8

Question

Recently, our online web service using tomcat 7.0.23.0 and JVM 1.7.0_51-b13 need to upgrade to java 8, which tomcat version is suitable for java 8 ?

Solution 1

See this link

http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

for details about which tomcat versions are supported on which java versions.

According to that link, tomcat 7.0.23.0 should work on java 8

Solution 2

Tomcat 7 is good and works well for Java 8 however, not recommended for Java8 as all features of Java 8 were not supported in tomcat 7. Please use tomcat 9.x with Java 8 (Recommended from Tomcat Apache)

Please refer http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

Solution 3

Latest stable version supported on Java 8 is Tomcat 10 but the users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta.*.
