Hello,
I´m not sure this is the most appropriate forum, but on the application side of my problem I find no advise so I like to submit my question to this OS forum.

A customer runs TomCat 4.1.27 (and Apache 1.3.27) on AIX 5.2, but wants to upgrade to AIX 6.1 . Now according to the following compatibility matrix, TomCat is not compatible with AIX 6.1 :

Anyone reading this who is familiar with TomCat and can confirm this? What are the problems?

Thanx,
Tom

We have it running on AIX 6.1 and it's been doing fine for several months.

Higby,
thanx for the confirmation. What version of TomCat is that? The customer is running an old version of TomCat (4.1) and a Progress database which work together through a Progress product called AIA. Anyway, we advised the customer to upgradede to AIX 5.3 and that worked.

Tomcat is a Java application so won't have any problem on AIX 6.1.

Doesn't this document refer to "Tomcat instrumentation" using another product, not Tomcat itself?

All: thanx for sharing your experiences. The upgrade has been done last month (to AIX 5.3) but apparently it would have worked with 6.1 as well.
