Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-5652:
-------------------------------------
Mansour,
When I opened this issue back in June 2014 I just did it to keep the solution somewhat alive, as the underlying appserver templates were outdated at the time. Tomcat 7 (and even Tomcat 8) are just more recent, more servicing - security wise, etc. than Tomcat 5 and 6).
That having said, like others I have not seen the solution referenced in the mailing lists in relation to the released 10.x, 11.x, 12.x and 13.x as something that users regarded as paramount to their deployment strategy. Yes, I remember some contributors questioning briefly whether it was useful or stating that it was under evaluation.
But as no-one stepped up and persevered, it became obvious that this - as is it - has reached its EOL. Also due to improvements elsewhere. We, as the community, didn't clean the house regarding this component. Basically, because it was lacking consensus. As now several contributors (including you and me) have stated/accepted that this is outdated, we can start the process of removing it from the branches we maintain.
Best regards,
Pierre
