Description Graham Leggett 2018-09-14 21:17:35 UTC
Description of problem:

While moving a tomcat installation from a native Apache Tomcat 7 install to a RHEL7 provided Tomcat 7 install, startup fails as follows:

Sep 14 20:57:28 test server: Sep 14, 2018 8:57:28 PM org.apache.catalina.core.NamingContextListener addResource
Sep 14 20:57:28 test server: WARNING: Failed to register in JMX: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not load resource factory class [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory]
Sep 14 20:57:28 test server: Sep 14, 2018 8:57:28 PM org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener createMBeans
Sep 14 20:57:28 test server: SEVERE: Exception processing Global JNDI Resources
Sep 14 20:57:28 test server: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not load resource factory class [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory]

This appears to be because tomcat-dbcp.jar was arbitrarily removed from the RHEL7 packaged version of tomcat.

This was reported 6 years ago, but closed without a clear explanation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819087

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
