We are running a Tomcat application where the login always fails after a tomcat restart with an error about unable to load the configuration context. The app has a context file defined in /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/META-INF/context.xml which contains : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/CAOMWebViewer12"/>
After a Tomcat manager "reload", the application login will always succeed. A Tomcat manager app stop/start will also let the login succeed. A Tomcat manager undeploy/deploy will also let the login succeed. Tomcat version is 7.0.69. This appears to be an application programming issue to me, but vendor seems to be trying hard to blame it on our customer configuration. As example, they are saying they did not test with a ROOT deployment, so we should not use a ROOT deployment. catalina log just shows: Aug 09, 2018 9:26:23 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR INFO: Deployment of web application archive /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/ROOT.war has finished in 4,825 ms ...
