Konstantin: I am very glad that I found this thread. For a week I have been struggling with this problem.
I have Tomcat7 running. My application which was running just fine under Tomcat5 does not run under Tomcat7. I have created setupclasspath.sh with all the necessary JARs. My Tomcat starts fine and I see the opening page. Even my Axis comes up ok but not my application. I start Tomcat with ./startup.sh and I do not use Eclipse. The message that I get is *********** Oct 20, 2011 3:04:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase addChildInternal SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/mywebapp]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:152) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:812) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:787) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:607) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory(HostConfig.java:1055) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories(HostConfig.java:978) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:472) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start(HostConfig.java:1329) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent(HostConfig.java:311) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:119) *********** I tried reading this thread but I cannot understand what exactly I should do in my setup. I see only one /opt/tomcat7/lib/servlet-api.jar and this file is inside my CLASSPATH. Your help is greatly appreciated.
