Key Changes in Tomcat 10.0.5 and Migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE

Tomcat 10.0.x targets Jakarta EE 9, requiring developers to replace the javax package with jakarta, and version 10.0.5 introduces proper JNDIRealm escaping, updated HandlesTypes handling, and a refactored, IoC‑friendly WebSocket creation process to ease migration from earlier Tomcat releases.

Key Changes in Tomcat 10.0.5 and Migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE

Tomcat 10.0.x series targets Jakarta EE 9, and the official guidance states that users of Tomcat 10 and later must adapt to the migration from Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, which changes all implemented API packages from javax. to jakarta. . Consequently, some projects will need code modifications to run on Tomcat 10 and newer versions instead of Tomcat 9 or earlier.

Compared with 10.0.5, notable changes include:

Ensuring correct escaping of attribute values and search filters in JNDIRealm ;

HandlesTypes should now include classes that use the specified annotation type on fields or methods;

Refactoring the creation of WebSocket endpoints, decoders, and encoders to be more IoC‑friendly; instances can now be created via InstanceManager ;
