I haven't seen any issues in running CXF in Tomcat 8, we've had it added
to the actual war, looks like you put CXF into the common lib folder ?
If yes, how did you patch it for the given resource be loaded if it is
'null', did you delegate to the system loader ?
Thanks, Sergey

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run a simple webservice on Tomcat 8.5.11 with CXF 3.1.10 and have
encountered two separate NPEs when CXF attempts to resolve a BusFactory.
The first one appears at
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/BusFactory.java#L397
apparently cls.getClassLoader() returns null.
The second one is at
https://github.com/apache/cxf/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/bus/extension/ExtensionManagerImpl.java#L154
where getClass().getClassLoader() also returns null.
More details at

I've build a local version of cxf-core with these two spots patched to handle
the NPE and forward the loading to a non-null ClassLoader, such as the
ContextClassLoader.
My question is, am I missing setup on the Tomcat side so that the intended
ClassLoader is not null?
Should CXF have additional checks for potential nulls in these two (possibly
other) cases?
TIA
Andres
