>From the logs the kernel bug seems to be affecting JAVA rather than tomcat7 itself.
We also have the same problem occurring with our JetBrains License Server crashed this morning - generating the same kernel errors. JetBrains has a commercial JAVA web application service, not tomcat7, and it is configured to run with Oracle Java 1.8.0. Our tomcat7 instances are running with the Ubuntu package for OpenJDK 1.7.0_181 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1787429 Title: Tomcat 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.15 not start with Kernel 3.13.0-155 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: S.O.: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS \n \l Tomcat Package: tomcat7_7.0.52-1ubuntu0.15_all Previus Kernel: linux-headers-3.13.0-151-generic, linux- headers-3.13.0-153-generic Kernel Update: linux-headers-3.13.0-155-generic Description: After update to kernel 155 and restart the server, tomcat7 not start and I can't find the error in the logs.
