tomcat upgrade issue in fedora commons

I have recently upgraded tomcat to latest version 6.0.37 in Fedora Commons 3.4. Since then, automatic updates to Solr are not working when a new object is ingested in Fedora. I am not sure if GSearch is broken because of the upgraded tomcat. With this issue, I always have to manually visit the REST page and then hit "updateIndex". Earlier it used to work automatically, when I ingested the product, it used to get indexed in Solr automatically. I couldn't find anything useful in the logs.

Could you please let me know if there are any steps that should be followed to upgrade tomcat that originally came with Fedora Commons 3.4?

All I did for upgrading tomcat in Fedora folder was - I downloaded latest tomcat version 6.0.37 and then copied its content to the old tomcat folder in Fedora folder. Restarted tomcat. I use Windows OS. Please let me know if I missed anything.

While installation of fedora fcrepo-installer-3.x.x.jar you can select existingTomcat instead of included when it asks for tomcat. You can then provide the path of your another tomcat server directory.

Servlet engine Which servlet engine will Fedora be running in? Enter 'included' to use the bundled Tomcat 6.0.20 server. To use your own, existing installation of Tomcat, enter 'existingTomcat'. Enter 'other' to use a different servlet container.

Options : included, existingTomcat, other

Enter a value [default is included] ==> existingTomcat

Tomcat home directory Please provide the full path to your existing Tomcat installation, or the path where you plan to install the bundled Tomcat.

Enter a value [default somedirectory] ==> yourdirectory

This way you can auto-configure fedora with your custom tomcat that you upgraded.
