Release Notes for the Version 10.0 Installable (Feb 2014) platform.
About the Installable Version
The installable version of the platform lets you create and manage a private cloud behind your corporate firewall. It can also be used to set up a public cloud that serves multiple clients--generally with a shared application and global data. This page highlights changes to the installation process, along with features of the new release.

Installation Notes
For either a First-Time Installation or platform upgrade, ensure that dependent utilities are at the minimum levels specified in the Software Requirements.
Special Upgrade Instructions
This version of the platform installs Tomcat 7.0.47.
- Before upgrading, back up any custom entries added to tomcat/webapps/networking/WEB-INF/web.xml,
because that file will be overwritten during the upgrade process. - After the upgrade, add back your custom entries.
Important:
The format of servlet entries that include several URL patterns has changed in Tomcat 7.0.47. With the new format, all of the url patterns are included in single servlet-mapping as shown here:
- Old:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<servlet> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.abc.MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-class> </servlet>
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/a</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/b</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </syntaxhighlight>
- New:
- <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" enclose="div">
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>MultiUrlPatternServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/a</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/b</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </syntaxhighlight>
