Tomcat 7 Support Improves m-Power Application Security and Stability

June 2012 · Oak Brook, IL

Today, software tool developer michaels, ross & cole, ltd. (mrc) announces Tomcat 7 support within m-Power. m-Power is a development platform that rapidly creates web applications such as report-writing, Business Intelligence, executive dashboards, e-commerce, customer portals, and mobile applications, to name a few.

Tomcat 7, the latest version of Tomcat at the time, adds new features that can improve m-Power applications. Here are three important ways Tomcat 7 helps m-Power applications:

• Better security: Applications built with m-Power are even more secure when using Tomcat 7, which improves upon Tomcat's already strong security. It adds additional security options and new features designed to protect applications against common methods of attack.
• Better stability: Tomcat 7 adds new features that detect and prevent memory leaks found in outside APIs, applications, or code, a common cause of application instability.
• Better performance: Much of the internal code in Tomcat 7 has been cleaned up and improved, leading to better overall m-Power application performance. It also offers full Java Servlet 3.0 support, which gives m-Power access to new features such as asynchronous processing, web-fragment support, annotation support, and more.

"Tomcat 7 support will be a welcome enhancement for m-Power users," says Tyler Wassell, mrc's Lead Software Developer. "Now, they can instantly improve their m-Power applications simply by upgrading to the latest version of Tomcat."
