It can be due to a number of reasons happening when configuring the listener. Best way is to log and see the actual error. You can do this by adding a logging.properties file to the root of your classpath with the following contents:

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
