We are currently using Tomcat 6.0.20 and Java 7, but there is plan to get upgraded to Java 8. So wanted to know if Tomcat 6 would support Java 8.
Yes it should as mentioned in release notes here:
Tomcat 6.0 is designed to run on Java SE 5.0 and later.
Tomcat 6.x
is designed to run on JDK 5.0
and later version. So it will support. But Tomcat 6.x
cannot run on JDK 1.4
and older releases.
