tomcat

2 Answers

  1. I have had same problem. In my case I was migrating from tomcat6 -> tomcat7 and I left my application configured in same way from tomcat6 and just try to start it in tomcat7. But in tomcat7 default server.xml configuration there is not server lifecycle listener used (<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener" />). Consider reconfiguration of application that you want to migrate for tomcat7 (preffered way I think). Or just remove server lifecycle listener from server.xml in this case.

    It looks like you are not running the Sun JRE but GCJ, the GNU Java compiler, based on the "libgcj.so" present at the end of the stack trace lines. It is most likely a problem with either the JAVA_HOME, the JRE_HOME or the PATH variable.
