history
Project history and usage
Apache Tomcat 9 is the Java EE 8-era line of Apache Tomcat, the ASF servlet and JSP container descended from the original Servlet and JSP implementations donated by Sun to the Apache Software Foundation. It matters in package-manager catalogs because it is a long-lived, scriptable server runtime that developers install locally for Java web application testing, legacy application support, and compatibility work.
Project history
Tomcat's public Apache history begins in 1999, when Sun donated the Tomcat code base to the ASF; the first Apache Tomcat release was version 3.0. The project then evolved through multiple major releases under ASF stewardship, with contributions from Sun and other organizations.
Tomcat 9 began as a 9.0.x milestone branch in November 2015. Its first milestone was advertised as early access to Tomcat 9 features, including HTTP/2, TLS virtual hosting, and an implementation of the draft Servlet 4.0 specification. The current Tomcat 9 documentation describes it as implementing Servlet 4.0 and JavaServer Pages 2.3, with supporting Java EE 8-era APIs.
Adoption history
The ASF heritage page describes Tomcat as having considerable industry adoption and an active community. Tomcat 9's place in package catalogs reflects that history: it remains the compatibility line for applications written against the javax.* Java EE APIs, while later Tomcat 10 and 11 lines moved to the jakarta.* namespace.
Homebrew tracks Tomcat 9 as a versioned formula, and the batch input lists corresponding package-manager names across Alpine, Debian, Fedora, Nix, Arch, Scoop, Ubuntu, and openSUSE, indicating broad distro-level packaging for the Tomcat 9 generation.
How it is used
Package users normally install Tomcat 9 to run the catalina command and operate a local or service-managed servlet container. The important files for package nerds are under $CATALINA_BASE, especially conf/server.xml for server configuration and catalina.properties for runtime properties.
Why package nerds care
Tomcat 9 is the package-manager-friendly anchor for Java EE 8 servlet applications: it is large enough to be a real server, small enough to install as a local development runtime, and old enough that versioned packages are valuable when projects cannot move from javax.* to jakarta.* APIs.
Timeline
- 1999: Sun donated the Tomcat code base to the Apache Software Foundation.
- 2015: Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 alpha was released as the first 9.0.x milestone.
- 2026: Tomcat 9.0.119 was announced as a Java EE 8-platform release, with Tomcat 9 support announced through 31 March 2027.
Related projects
- Apache Tomcat 10 and 11 continue the Tomcat line for Jakarta EE-era APIs.
- Apache TomEE builds on Tomcat by adding Java EE and Jakarta EE application-server features.
