02/24/2022, 3:04 PMHi all. Is there an easy way to update the Tomcat that's installed with Adobe CF? I was hoping they released it as a CF upgrade, but so far no such luck. And just installing the latest Tomcat download seems fraught with peril.

02/24/2022, 3:12 PM@Brian Adobe does not use stock Tomcat-- they have a special forked version of it. I would not try to use a stock tomcat installation at all to "upgrade" your local CF install
