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. ### Sources - - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for tomcat@9. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: $CATALINA_BASE/conf/server.xml, $CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties ## Source Database Details -
