Is Tomcat version 7 fully ready for production

I have a few modular and to some extend a little bit complex applications running perfectly on Apache Tomcat 6.0.32.

All of them are live except one, and I was thinking this would be a perfect time to make the switch to Tomcat 7.

I have not dig in too much in yet, but a simple trial test ran fine, and the selenium test suite runs fine too. Is there something I should be aware of/start worrying about or can I just start rolling out the new version of Tomcat in production now ?

There's going to be some heavy data processing load dispatching involved, but not so many concurrent users.

Suggestions ? Comments ?

Note: I would like to hear some stories/feedback from the trenches, like am I going to get some performance decreases in some specific cases, is memory management working as good as claimed etc ... that kind of production questions.

Yes. The previous company I worked for have been successfully running 7.0.8 (while I was still there) on production, for about 5 months now already, no problems.

I do not upgrade production servers unless I need a feature provided with newer version or there is some security bug. So rolling Tomcat 7 just for sake of new version makes no sense. I also found the new version less structured. If I could extract Jasper from 6.x quite easily, it was a bit more complicated for 7.x due more dependencies, so I can conclude that new codebase is lacking in quality.

yes you can,

Because tomcat 7 is a stable release and current version is Tomcat 7.0.19

It implements Servlet 3.0, JSP 2.2, and EL 2.2 specifications.
