Whether Play2WarKeys.servletVersion := "2.5" is suitable for tomcat7?

[z07diac]

As the title, I used Tomcat 7.0.62 as contents.
I think the suggested Play2WarKeys.servletVersion is "3.0".
But if I use 3.0, the response of Application will be strange, such as twice response happen towards one request.
If I use 2.5, the application will work well.

So I have a question that whether it is OK if I use a 2.5 servletVersion on Tomcat7.

Yes you can use a 2.5 servlet version on Tomcat 7.
But it's be great to find out why you have such a misbehaviour with the 3.0 servlet.

@yanns Thank you so much for your reply.
Yeah, you are right. I will find out where is the problem.

Hello,

I have the same problem and post a question on playframework-my-application-does-not-work-as-expected-on-apache-tomcat

The application has been sent to production and is working well. I am running on tomcat 8.

The settings and dependencies used are:

addSbtPlugin("com.github.play2war" % "play2-war-plugin" % "1.4.0")
Play2WarKeys.servletVersion := "2.5"

By typing the "activator war" command, the plugin create the file war/WEB-INF/web.xml and the file application.war.

I'm waiting to know what's wrong.

In the meantime servlet 2.5 is serving me as expected.
