Hello!
The old documentation of Jasper 7.5 says that it is certified to work with Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 - 8.5.43, but due to several security findings, we need to update to Apache Tomcat 8.5.82 at least.
Can you please confirm if this version is compatible. Also I need to know the upgrade steps of Apache Tomcat.
Thank you!

Hello Richard,
As per the Platform Support Guide of the Jasperserver7.5, the tomcat 8.5.82 is not certified to use with the 7.5 JRS. The version of Apache tomcat from 8.5.0 - 8.5.43 and 9.0.1 - 9.0.27 are certified for the 7.5 JRS.

Also, we do not have any documentation as such to upgrade tomcat for the JAsperserver but you can refer to the below community link and see if it is helpful.

So installing that version of Tomcat might carry issues. What could happen if we try to upgrade to a non-certified version of Tomcat?
And I guess that your recommendation will be moving to version 8 that supports the Tomcat version we want to use, right? And is this the right guide for upgrading?
