User Stories:
Frank has been using the Ubuntu provided/Canonical supported tomcat6
package for the last couple of years but he now has a requirement to
deploy applications on Tomcat 7 whilst still ensuring his environment is
kept up-to-date and secure. By deploying Ubuntu 12.10 he can a) easily
transition his existing Tomcat 6 environments and b) support new Tomcat
7 requirements.
Assumptions:
- tomcat7 package should provide a suitable transition path from tomcat6.
- tomcat7 does not introduce any new significant dependency requirements.
- Reverse-Depends on tomcat6 can be transitioned to use tomcat7.
- libservlet2.5-java packages will be retained in some form for source compat.
- tomcat6 will be dropped from the archive, not deprecated (TBD at beta-1).
Test Plan:
1) Upgrade Path
Installed Ubuntu 12.04 with tomcat6; upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10; tomcat6 is
replaced with tomcat7 and all web applications and configuration is
transitioned to the new package locations.
2) Charm
Juju charm for tomcat will not support tomcat6 for Ubuntu 12.10.
tomcat7 will be deployed as the only option. Successful charm testing
of the tomcat7 charm.
3) New Install
A user is able to select the 'Tomcat' task selection from the Ubuntu
Server ISO and post reboot has a working tomcat7 deployment. Automated
ISO testing will also validate this against every daily image.
Release Note:
- Ubuntu 12.10 provides Apache Tomcat 7 as the default, supported version of Tomcat. Existing installations should be automatically upgraded from Apache Tomcat 6.
+ Ubuntu 12.10 provides Apache Tomcat 7 as the default, supported version of Tomcat. Existing installations of tomcat6 will continue to function; its recommended that users upgrade to the tomcat7 package as soon as possible.
