How to install Tomcat in Plesk?
Answer
Warning: Tomcat is no longer provided starting from Plesk Onyx 17.8. It can be installed manually but Plesk will not manage it.
To be able to run Java applications on domains hosted in Plesk, you need to install Tomcat, Plesk packages for Java support, configure them and start the service. During the operation, it will be required to have administrative access to Plesk. If any section is missing in your Plesk, make sure that it is up to date and contact server's administrator or hosting support.

One question. If
Warning: Tomcat is no longer provided starting from Plesk Onyx 17.8
how can we use java in plesk??
Hello @Toni d., thank you for the question.
As it is stated in this article, Tomcat usage among Plesk users has been steadily declining over the years, and our statistics do not show any evidence that this trend is going to change. Nevertheless, if the demand will be significant, we will consider a possibility of supporting Tomcat in some way.
In case you want to continue using java, consider using Plesk 17.5. Alternatively, you may manually install Tomcat on the server with Plesk. However, in this case, Tomcat won't be manageable via Plesk.
