Lucee Express now uses the latest Tomcat 9 or 10

I have refactored the lucee-installer build process to produce Lucee Tomcat templates, so now the express builds lucee-data-provider are more or less identical to the installer version as far as Tomcat config goes.

https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-5367

Lucee Versions prior to 6.2 use Tomcat 9 (currently 9.0.1.100), other wise it’s Tomcat 10 (10.1.0.36)

I have rebuilt all the stable express versions back to 5.4.6.9

@Zackster hi, is there any documentation with the procedure to upgrade tomcat from version 9 to version 10?

I also wanted to ask: is tomcat 11 not yet supported?

No reason that we bundle Tomcat 10.1 other than Tomcat 11 wasn’t released before the 6.2 RC process started.

Anything specific you need from Tomcat 11? It should work, but I haven’t looked into it yet

As for upgrading between Tomcat versions, simply do a fresh install and copy your .CFConfig.json over from lucee-server/context

Ok, I’ve knocked up a PR patched the installer build and attached test Tomcat 11 installers to the ticket, it passes the smoketest, please try them out

I’ve done a lot of unpaid work on all this, Lucee needs more financial support from all our users!
