Just wanted to rehash here what I already stated on Twitter. Railo runs fine on Tomcat 7, especially if you followed my previous blog post on installing it. I was able to download Tomcat 7 for Windows, install it (I disabled the Tomcat 6 service briefly) - edit 3 files. Start it up and go to the Railo admin. Once I confirmed everything was working properly, I uninstalled Tomcat 6.

Someone asked on Twitter if it was worth upgrading. I'm of the opinion that anytime you see mentions of clean-up, security fixes, etc. It's always worth upgrading.

Hi Todd. Can you detail the three files you had to change please?

Many thanks

Same 3 files that you need to setup Tomcat 6/Railo up ( outlined here: http://web-rat.com/blog/post.cfm/installing-railo-on-tomcat-the-windows-edition ) which is catalina.properties, server.xml and web.xml and you're done.
