Log4j removal issue

I'm trying to remove Log4j from my project. The project is building sucessfully after removing but I'm getting this error while running the build.

I've tried removing dependencies I suspected to be using Log4j.

As a general advice, use a tool to manage your project's dependencies such as Gradle or Maven. These tools are capable of analyzing not only classpath dependencies but also runtime dependencies. That way, you can just see what the dependencies are - rather than suspecting.

org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost]]

The project was smoothly running suddenly I got this error in console log. I am using Tomcat version 8.0.35. I have tried everything from clean build to updating the project. I know there are already problems that are solved but none of the solutions worked for me.

Please advice me what to do? Also I have searched everywhere in the pom file and other dependencies are also been generated.

Somewhere in your project there is a corrupted library (jar), at least that's how it was with me. I deleted my local .m2/repository folder and downloaded all dependencies again. If you know exactly which jar is the problem then delete only that one from your local repository. Then build your project again and if dependencies are downloaded correctly your tomcat should be able to run again.
Also just to be sure nothing is cached, delete everything that is inside the /tomcat8/work/Catalina/localhost path. It's the working directory of tomcat and files that tomcat needs during run time are written there. I don't think it's affected, but it doesn't hurt either.

One or two projects which you are adding to the tomcat may be corrupted. In order to fix it all you need to do is.
deleted the project from eclipse
go the project folder of your's and deleted .settings and .classpath file from the project.
Re-import the project in eclipse and then build
This will definitely solve your problem

I had this issue on Eclipse
Right click on project, select Maven --> Update Project -->
Check Update project configurations, refresh workspace resources, clean projects and also "Forced Update of Snapshots/Releases". The last bit was also important for tomcat to work.

I found that tomcat may not contain dbcp-jar, so I tried to add it via gradle:
compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-jdbc:7.0.59' but nothing changed
Can anyone explain me how it should be done?

Tomcat can't start the app because it can't find JSONRPC2ParseException class

I have application in /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/code I have init.java file that use json-rpc-2.0
I compile it using:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/jsonrpc2-base-1.35.jar:/path/json-smart-1.2.jar
javac init.java
it compile but when I run the app (not the servlet) I got error 404 from Tomcat and in catalina.out file there is exception:

with caused by not found com/thetransactioncompany/jsonrpc2/JSONRPC2ParseException which is in jar file.
What's happening here? How can I fix it to make it work?

This is usually the jar files are not available for Tomcat.
The best way to solve this is place the json-rpc-2.0 jar files into your Tomcat's lib folder
Update
As specified by A4L user , you can also put the jar in your web applications WEB-INF/lib as well.

Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[]]

I've jared my latest classes up and included it in my WEB-INF/lib directory and since then I've been getting this error and cannot run my project.
I have tried adding the commons jar into my project also but I'm still getting this issue. If I revert my project back to the original jar I created before adding new classes it works no problem.
Here is the error I'm getting:

It looks like you added a dependency on a Paypal library but did not include that library in your project:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.paypal.exception.SSLConfigurationException
I'm not sure which jar, but it is most likely paypal-core.jar. Try adding it under WEB-INF/lib.

I had met a similar problem, after i
add a scope property of servlet dependency in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Then it was ok .
maybe that will help you.

Just go to the project Properties->Project Facets
Uncheck the dynamic module, click apply.
Maven->update the project.

In my maven project this error occurs, after i closed my projects and reopens them. The dependencys wasn´t build correctly at that time. So for me the solution was just to update the Maven Dependencies of the projects!
