Answer 1

I had the same problem, What helped me was:

1. Right click on the project.
2. Click 'Properties'
3. Go to 'Java Build Path'
4. And then: 'Libraries'
5. In there, Click: Add External Jars
6. Add: ''Path/To/Tomcat/Bin/tomcat-juli.jar

Done .

Answer 2

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

/usr/share# mv /opt/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.56/ tomcat7

fixed the issue for me. There was a symbolic link there to /opt. Inside that opt directory there where ../../java links that would not point to /usr/share/java since the files physically were in /opt

Answer 3

I ran into this problem when using tomcat-embed-core::7.0.47, from Maven. I'm not sure why they didn't add tomcat-util as a runtime dependency, so I added my own runtime dependency to my own project.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomcat-util</artifactId>
  <version><!-- version from tomcat-embed-core --></version>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 4

If you are using jsvc to run tomcat as tomcat (run /etc/init.d/tomcat as root), edit /etc/init.d/tomcat and add $CATALINA_HOME/bin/tomcat-juli.jar to CLASSPATH.

Answer 5

This happened to me because I was using a Tomcat 5.5 catalina.sh file with a Tomcat 7 installation. Using the catalina.sh that came with the Tomcat 7 install fixed the problem.

Answer 6

In our case, the wrong version of the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin for Eclipse 3.5 was being used. The fix:

• Use tomcatPluginV33 instead of tomcatPluginV321 (extract to C:\eclipse\dropins)
• Ensure that DevloaderTomcat7.jar was placed in the tomcat lib folder
• In Window > Preferences > Tomcat, set the Tomcat version to 7.x

This problem may have been unique to our environment; but, I'll record it here anyway, for posterity's sake.
