Easy questions: > >1. Have you added anything to Tomcat's lib/ directory (that would be >CATALINA_HOME/lib or CATALINA_BASE/lib -- or both) after installing >Tomcat 8/9? Yes, I’ve added some jars. Some I can’t remember why I’ve added them but doubt they’d be connected to the problem.

Excuse my ignorance but the file highlighted in the JasperException is only created when the war file is deployed by tomcat. So I’m not sure what I can do to influence this file.
