How to update the Apache Tomcat Fulltext Server 7 and higher?

Question:
Does DocuWare provide updates for Apache Tomcat?

Answer:
DocuWare does not provide updates for Apache Tomcat, but with the following instructions you can update your Apache Tomcat manually.

Please be advised, that our installation routine will overwrite all manual actions! The default version included in the installation package will be applied.
