Hello, I have a very strange issue with Tomcat 6.0.18 and I'm not sure what information to provide to help debug further.
I have an installation of Tomcat 6.0.18 which fails to properly initialize servlets upon restart. If I deploy a new application.war file while Tomcat is running (even if it is the same war file with different modify timestamp) everything loads up just fine. Below are the system details: - Tomcat: Tomcat version 6.0.18 with APR 1.1.14 - Java: JDK 1.6u10 - RedHat Enteprise Linux 5 It seems that Servlet X, for example, does load to a point, because it returns a value, however the log4j subsystem is not initialized at all (providing me with no debug info at all) and catalina.out/err show no signs of trouble. Below is a snippet of restarting Tomcat. ===== Dec 3, 2008 7:08:36 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol pause INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-80 Dec 3, 2008 7:08:37 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService stop INFO: Stopping service Catalina Dec 3, 2008 7:08:37 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO: SessionListener: contextDestroyed() Dec 3, 2008 7:08:37 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO: ContextListener: contextDestroyed() Dec 3, 2008 7:08:37 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol destroy INFO: Stopping Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-80 Dec 3, 2008 7:08:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: Loaded APR based Apache Tomcat Native library 1.1.14.
