Vanilla Tomcat for zOS version available with ChangeMan ZMF v8 r2 patch 07

Question

Hello, 
 How do I know which version of Apache Tomcat for zOS is included with the ChangeMan ZMF Rest Services v8.r2 patch 07 installation? 
 
 I know the vanilla Tomcat 8.5.6 distribution is included in ChangeMan ZMF Rest Services v8 r2 patch 04 and patch 05 and I would like to confirm if is the same version for v8 r2 patch 07 or it&rsquo;s a version a newer version. 
 
 Thanks 
 Regards

Hi Manuel, 
 Yes, the same version, 8.5.6, is distributed with the ChangeMan ZMF 8.2 Patch 7 release.

Hi Manuel, 
 Technically we do not anticipate any problems running our web-based applications on Tomcat 9.0.37 resident on z/OS. However, as you correctly mention, this has not been tested and should problems be encountered running on that level of Tomcat you would need to revert to an 8.5.6 version before we could assist. 
 We must stress that the same is NOT currently true for later versions of Tomcat, i.e. 10.x and 11.x at time of writing. Many APIs were deprecated or renamed in those releases of Tomcat and the current versions of our ZMF web applications will not run out-of-the-box in such environments. 
 I hope that helps and please let us know if you have any further questions. 
 Best regards, 
 Steve
