Do you have any logging enabled? If so, what does the log say? If not, try enabling logging and then checking the log. Tomcat is usually pretty verbose about what happened and what it happened to. > I tried a couple of methods to solve it but with no use, the error > still stays.

WARNING: Creation of secureRandom > insatnce..... If you are hanging on creating SecureRandom, your server (or workstation) might have run out of cryptographic entropy. This can happen when you restart a server like Tomcat too rapidly and the OS doesn't have enough time to re-fill the entropy pool. Can you take a thread dump[1] of the running process the next time this stalls, just to be sure? > By reverting back to tomcat 8.5.23 this was solved but again I'm > facing the child container failed error. > > Please let me know if there is a fix to my issue or if there is a > better version of tomcat that I can use. The problem is likely with a component of your application. Logs will help discover the root of the problem. The decision to use Tomcat 8.5 or Tomcat 9.0 has more to do with your risk-aversion. Both versions are still under active development, but Tomcat 8.5 is more mature and stable (from a code perspective, not that it is any more reliable than 9.0). Both versions should be maintained for the next few years.
