Hi,

does anyone know or have experience with upgrading just the tomcat version in the Uniface installation ?

We have the upgrade to Uniface 10.4.03.x  (coming from 10.4.02.43) in the pipeline, but it takes a while from installing  it till getting it  installed  for our Customers.

Would it be possible to upgrade just the Tomcat version from Tomcat 9.0.43  to Tomcat 9.0.97 or Tomcat 10.x ?

Tnx in advance !

Wim

Hi Wim,

The Uniface 10.4.02 installation comes with two versions of the wrd for different versions of Tomcat.

If you look in C:\\Program Files\\Uniface\\Uniface 10 10.4.02\\uniface\\webapps\\uniface\\WEB-INF\\lib_wrd you'll see folders for v6 (the Uniface 10.4.02 default) and v7 (the Uniface 10.4.03 default for a clean installation) containing different versions of wrd.jar.

A key point to note is the v7 version of wrd.jar uses rocketsoftware not compuware in the namespace specified in web.xml.

See How to install and configure Tomcat 10.1 and WRD 7.0 for more information.

Kind Regards,

It is also worth noting the wrd version 7 supports samesite cookies which can enhance security: Best practices for using WRD 7.0 and Samesite cookie support with Uniface

Thanks David, loud and clear :-)

For now we have opted for updating the exisiting tomcat 9 installation to the latest 9.0.97 version to get rid of the security issues.

This was easily achieved by just overwriting the tomcat files with the ones from the newer version

When upgrading to Uniface 10.4.03 we will upgrade to tomcat 10.1.x too.
