Java EE based applications designed for Tomcat 9 and earlier may be placed in the <code>$CATALINA_BASE/webapps-javaee</code> directory and Tomcat will automatically convert them to Jakarta EE and copy them to the webapps directory. This conversion is performed using the <a href="https://github.com/apache/tomcat-jakartaee-migration">Apache Tomcat migration tool for Jakarta EE tool</a> which is also available as a separate <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/download-migration.cgi">download</a> for off-line use.</p> <p>The notable changes in this release are:</p> <ul> <li>Fix 69576.
