The native library for Tomcat configures the server to use the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library's network connection (socket) and RNG implementations. If deploying Tomcat onto a production environment, consider installing tomcat-native.

Install one of tomcat8, tomcat9, or tomcat10. Check the version you need depending on your web applications requirements. The last versions are officially supported in Arch Linux: tomcat8, tomcat9 and tomcat10. Instead, each branch is the implementation of a couple of the "Servlet" and "JSP" Java standards.


None of these version deprecates the preceding. Note: Tomcat currently exists under four stable branches: 7, 8, 9 and 10.
