This seems to be related to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8065675 The version of Java called seems to be using the CheckEndorsedAndExtDirs option and failing due to the definition of deprecated endorsed directory (see https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/release_changes.xml Java 8 Update 40 (8u40)). My fix is to remove all definitions of endorsed directories when calling java - see modified catalina.sh script attached. An alternative option might be to explicitly allow the deprecated API.
