Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from javax.* to jakarta.*.

Currently all kgs application need a special deployment to run in tomcat 10 environment. (see Using KGS JavaEE WebApps in Tomcat 10 | Get App running on Tomcat 10 )
