Thanks Carlo. I've installed the latest Oracle JDK: java version "1.7.0_45" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode)
Yes, there are other deployed applications. Actually, we've found a workaround: removing xmlparserv2.jar from /usr/share/tomcat7/lib. This library conflicts with geoserver and results with the exception that can be found in the previously attached log file. *xmlparserv2.jar *is a part of Oracle 12 database server. It's required by one of the other web services in our Tomcat installation. Since this jar is used by Tomcat already before loading the other web service, we cannot limit it only to this service and avoiding the conflict. Already tried. We have created a "thin" version of the jar which includes only the following content, but we still see the above exception. Any ideas?
