I'm trying to track down a configuration issue in my tomcat environment. Our production servers are running a tomcat installation and reading the war from a shared NFS mount.
However, when I try the same war with a stand-alone box (with their configuration), I get the error posted below.
Whats interesting, is that if I unzip all the jars in WEB-INF/lib into WEB-INF/classes, this error goes away.
So, it seems like something is preventing the app from loading the WEB-INF/lib path, but I can't for the life of me find any tomcat settings that would cause this, because it is detecting the apps and configuration, just not the included jars.
Any ideas?

So, I still don't have a reason for why this is happening, but I was finally able to get it working. Normally, we use 'unzip' to unpack the war into the deploy directory. I switched it to use 'jar' and everything magically works.
I have no idea why this would be. I tried every other permutation (checking our deployment folder, symlinks, permissions, ownerships, etc), and this was the only thing that made a difference, even diffing the two unpacked folders showed they were the same, with the same permissions, but one worked and one didn't
Also of note: the production deploys have been using 'unzip' for years. I really can't figure this one out, but I'm glad I can at least work on something else.
One thing to look into, the ClassNotFoundException does not always mean the listed class (in your case org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener) was not found, it could mean that class could not be loaded.
If that particular class fails to load for any reason, say it has a static block that references another class that isn't found, the class loader reports failure to load as "ClassNotFoundException".
Make sure that your WEB-INF/lib directory does not contain classes/jars that also exist in the Tomcat default libraries. This can sometimes cause the load failures if there are multiple versions. By unzipping the jars into the classes directory you may be moving classes in the path order which is why it could be working.

What might be the problem?
I had a similar issue. In my case, it was the library jar which I added to the lib directory of apache Tomcat.
This issue occurred when I referred to the classes from the jar in the lib directory. When I added the jar as a dependency on my war and removed it from the lib directory, it resolved my issue.
In your case, I think the MySQL driver jar that you must have added to the lib is causing this issue. Try adding it as a maven dependency or as a dependency from your resource directory and remove it from your lib directory of the tomcat. It should help with this issue.
The code is not written by me, so I am not able to give proper input for question ;), but still want to know the cause of the exception in general. :)
I have installed OpenCRX CRM, and when I run, the following exception is thrown,

I would like to know when such a exception is thrown? What are the possible solutions should I try ?
Thank you :)
This may be because of library conflict. May be there will be an old library or conflicted (conflict with app libraries) library in tomcat lib folder. Try to force to use app libs
I can give only a hint. In my case I had changed the name from a propertie inside my maven properties. I got the same error and same behavior. The tomcat was able to start but the application was not able to boot up with spring boot. After renaming the tag to the old name the application was able to boot with spring boot and tomcat aswell.
I am trying to install newrelic on a linux machine with tomcat 7. This installation does not have a catalina.sh so cannot use the newrelic installer.
I tried the manula approach of adding the newrelic.jar to the javaagent like:
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -javaagent:/usr/share/tomcat7/newrelic/newrelic.jar"
But whenever I start the tomcat I get the following classnotfoundexception:

I have tried everything I could for this, but nothing works. I have even added the xalan jar manually to the tomcat lib but no luck
You need to make sure you have xalan.jar installed. If it is installed, it may be in the wrong place. You probably need it at the container level, here is a blog post that discusses this issue (tomcat5 but most of the advice should still apply).
http://doookstechstuff.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-fix-tomcat5-on-rhel5.html
Make sure that the location where you put the xalan.jar is in the classpath and that the user account you're running tomcat under has access to it. If you have dropped it in the tomcat /lib folder make sure the perms for the .jar file match the other objects in the folder.
Let us know if this helps. If you need additional information it might be best to create a ticket with New Relic Support (http://support.newrelic.com).

During startup it logs in console CLASSPATH it's using:
Using CLASSPATH: /Library/Tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar
I've not tried to deploy my own application (*.war) it's just "clean" Tomcat.
Probably your system classpath somehow get polluted with pre-2.5 servlet API jar.
You may check it by running java javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet - it should throw NoClassDefFound. If it throws NoSuchMethodError, check your classpath (especially CLASSPATH environment variable and lib/ext subfolder of JRE installation).
EDIT: Try the following code - at least it will show the location of the offending jar:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println(
Test.class.getClassLoader().getResource("javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.class"));
}
}
Are your CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME variables correct?
(they should be printed along with the CLASSPATH on startup).
I just tried exactly what you did (downloaded a fresh tomcat 6.0.26 on OS X 10.6.3), unzipped it (I downloaded the core/zip), then set all the .sh files to executable:
(in the bin folder):
chmod a+x *.sh
After that, running startup.sh worked without a hitch.
I can only think that prior CATALINA variables are conflicting?
On production Tomcat server my webapp couldn't find jars located in WEB-INF/lib folder. In development eviorment all works fine.

Thanks for your answer!
By default, the Tomcat that ships with Debian distros has a very restrictive Java security manager. My guess is that you're using the packaged version and that it is forbidding something. The "something" is very likely available in the logs as mentioned in the last line of the trace you posted:
note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5 logs.
You'll have to ease the restrictions (check /etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d) or to turn it off. Talk with your administrator.
I have seen something very similar with a jar requiring a class from another jar and that jar was not on the classpath.
Have a look at the root cause of the stack trace in the Tomcat log. That will most likely reveal what is wrong.
