Hi All, Tomcat stopped working (blank page when browsing to the website using firefox).
Checking in the catalina.2015-04-21.log on one of the problematic servers, following messages were seen : *Apr 21, 2015 11:35:11 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig tldScanJar* *WARNING: Failed to process JAR [jar:file:/cfmu/appcm/CFMU/CFMU_CONFIG!19.0.0.84/build_G!88.IP.L5/java/jar/ito_op_addon.jar!/ <http://19.0.0.84/build_G!88.IP.L5/java/jar/ito_op_addon.jar!/>] for TLD files* *java.util.zip.ZipException: zip file is empty* *…* *Apr 21, 2015 11:35:11 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext startInternal* *SEVERE: Context [/docs] startup failed due to previous errors* The file on which it gives a warning exists and indeed empty. # file /cfmu/appcm/CFMU/CFMU_CONFIG\! 19.0.0.84/build_G\!88.IP.L5/java/jar/ito_op_addon.jar /cfmu/appcm/CFMU/CFMU_CONFIG! 19.0.0.84/build_G!88.IP.L5/java/jar/ito_op_addon.jar: empty It’s clear that tomcat should NOT scan /cfmu/appcm. It looks like, once we add the following line into context.xml that it works again : *<JarScanner scanClassPath="false" />* Now the question. *Why would Tomcat scan the /cfmu/appcm dir *? We checked the classpath setting on the server, but CLASSPATH env variable isn't set system-wide. . Besides that there is no reference to cfmu in the /opt/OV/nonOV/tomcat/b/conf /catalina.properties file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The dir /cfmu/appcm is a dir coming from our internal tools to keep track of software version releases. It has nothing to do with Apache. 1.) *So the question is, during a default Tomcat install, where is it defined that which dirs Tomcat scans* ? It should not scan the /cfmu/appcm dir 2.) *Can you give me a clue why this dir is scanned, and how this can be changed*? Waiting for your reply. Thanks & Regards, Nikitha
