It makes zero sense that you can only use logger.error("string") within a
"catch" block. Your Eclipse install or "straight code" plugin is broken. Try
compiling outside eclipse. I bet you get no errors no matter where you put
logger.error("string").

But Tomcat is the runtime environment. Your issue is coming at compile-time,
though it's not really a compile-time issue because there's nothing wrong with
the code. There's something wrong with how Eclipse is interpreting the code as
you view it in the editor. Given this, the deployment environment is
superfluous to the issue at hand.
