Apache Tomcat 7.x

Apache Tomcat 7.x is the current focus of development. It builds upon the improvements made in Tomcat 6.0.x and implements the Servlet 3.0, JSP 2.2 and EL 2.2 specifications. In addition to that, it includes the following

improvements:

. Web application memory leak detection and prevention.
. Improved security for the Manager and Host Manager applications.
. Generic CSRF protection.
. Support for including external content directly in a web application.
. Refactoring (connectors, lifecycle) and lots of internal code clean-up.

Changing Tomcat Java Connector Ports

The default port numbers for Coyote and Warp connectors in Parallels Plesk Panel are 9080 and 9008.

If you want Tomcat Java to work on other ports (e.g. 8090 and 8009), you should connect to the Parallels Plesk Panel database and add two parameters to the database as in the following example:

insert into misc (param,val) values (’coyote_connector_port’, ‘8090′);

insert into misc (param,val) values (’warp_connector_port’, ‘8009′);

Note: It is recommended that you change the Tomcat Java ports right after Parallels Plesk Panel is installed on server, or prior to enabling the Tomcat Java service for your domains.
