Deploy on Tomcat 10 / Java 17

Deploy your upgraded Bloomreach Experience Manager 16 implementation project to a Tomcat 10 / Java 17 environment.

For full on-premise installation and deployment instructions, refer to the configure Tomcat on Linux page.

Common libraries

The distribution file as created by -Pdist, see create a project distribution, has changed.

For brXM 16, its /common/lib directory contains:

• jakarta.activation-api.jar
• jakarta.mail-api.jar
• angus-activation.jar
• angus-mail.jar

instead of a single jakarta.mail.jar from Sun for brXM 15.

The geronimo-jta_1.1_spec.jar and jcr.jar should still be present.

context.xml

Because of the javax → jakarta change, any "mail/Session" resource in conf/context.xml must have its type changed from "javax.mail.Session" to "jakarta.mail.Session":

<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
         type="jakarta.mail.Session"
         mail.smtp.host="localhost"
         mail.smtp.port="2525" />
