[JanBuecher]

• MapFish print version: 3.32.0
• Java version: 17.0.15

I try to run the mapfish-print .war file in tomcat 10 but get the following error:

Tomcat 10 don't support the old JakartaEE Version

I've managed to get it running using the workaraound of the second reply at stackoverflow, but an upgrade of the Spring/Jakarta Dependencies would be nice.

Hi @JanBuecher ,

Thanks for your feedback, I agree this would be nice to upgrade Spring/Jakarta. But this is not a small undertaking, your help is more than welcome (in the form of some PRs or monetary contributions).
