tomcat 8.5.xx over 8.0.44

[kyetzer]

are there any advantages to using tomcat 8.5.xx over 8.0.44 with Thingworx 8.1.  I am mostly thinking in terms of  tweaking performance

Hello.

I'm not sure to what degree this is available in tomcat 8.0.x, but in tomcat 8.5.x enabling compression is something that can make quite a difference in performance.

Take a look at the discussion here.

Thanks,

Hi @kyetzer.

To add to the information provided by @CRArko....

8.0 has reached end of life.  See this posting on the Apache Tomcat site.  Therefore it will not likely receive any additional security updates.

Refer to the migration guide available on the Apache Tomcat website for more information regarding differences in the product.
