Detailed Java/Tomcat upgrade instructions?

[awpti]

I haven't found any instructions on upgrading Tomcat5.5/Java 1.4 to, say, Tomcat6/Java1.6 relating to PLESK 9.0 - not terribly comfortable following documentation I found for PLESK 7.5.4 as that's.. rather old.

Has anyone done this and can provide instructions/steps? That would be awesome.

I'm slowly working (privately for now) on a Wiki for various non-support upgrades/changes that can be done with PLESK 8.6+ and PLESK 9.x

i do not recommend upgrading tomcat (from 4 to 5 or from 5 to 6) on plesk server. plesk changes to server.xml could be wrong for new tomcat, also paths change can result in applications lost (i've seen such issues on debian, upgrade was from 4 to 5).

changing/upgrading JVM does not affect plesk at all. Just make sure that tomcat will support new JVM.
