1. Switch to Tomcat 10 and drop the support for Tomcat 9 with the next
Guacamole version
Applicable only when there aren't too many Tomcat 9 users.
Has to be available as soon as possible (e.g. till end of 2024).

As mentioned in my other reply, above, saying "next Guacamole version" is
problematic, particularly since it won't happen in 1.5.5. Also, how are we
going to determine "when there aren't too many Tomcat 9 users?"

Forget about too complicate dynamic handling of two parallel Tomcat versions as
the old version is available just for limited time till EOL.
Split a Guacamole to two versions: one for "javax" (Tomcat 9) and another for
"jakarta" (Tomcat 10). Such approach is already taken by some OSS projects.

* I'm firmly opposed to splitting Guacamole into two versions.
* The "too complicate dynamic handling" is already done in other places within
the Guacamole, surely we can make it work in this case, too, if we decide to go
that route rather than just making a clean break.

I agree that solution is not very nice from architectural / pure technical
point of view but it is pragmatic approach and in each case the support for
Tomcat 9 will be dropped sooner or later.

I don't think it's a good solution from a pragmatic viewpoint, either. It's an
attempt to "solve" the issue of lack of support for Tomcat 10.x very quickly,
but at the expense of work that will have to be done only a little further down
the road (I believe this is what we call "technical debt"). My opposition to
this approach is both architectural and pragmatic.
