Enhancement GTXPE-874 Link to this entry

When applying this update, the packaged Tomcat will be updated to version 9.0.37. The update will try to update the Tomcat configuration (/Node/tomcat/conf/server.xml) by removing the line
 <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JasperListener"/> 
which is not needed any more and would cause the CMS to fail starting. If this automatic modification of server.xml fails, and the CMS does not start properly after the update, the Tomcat configuration files should be checked for necessary changes due to the update from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 9.
