Tomcat process goes Idle on Startup

T.Hilger

Dear Community,

I am facing the following problem:

When I start the my Tomcat8 (via Service manager or tomcat8w.exe or startup.bat) it always freezes at a certain point, more specifically at the last step:

25-Jul-2016 10:04:38.442 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory Deploying web application directory C:\tomcat\webapps\docs

The deployment of the webtop never finishes. The tomcat process just goes idle, even after 2 hours.

I did the usual stuff, restart the Server, delete the work directory, restarted the service, re-installed the service, etc.

Even after setting back the server back to a date the application ran fine the issue persists.

Here are some more information on the environment:

Windows Server 20088 R2 64-bit

Webtop 6.8

Tomcat 8

If I exclude the webtop, the Tomcat does run fine and is responsive. Now I am all out of ideas and would be glad for some help.

IF you remove your webtop.war from the webapps directory, does your tomcat startup clean?

T.Hilger

Yes it does.

I presume this is the latest version of webtop/content server.  If so, are you using IPv6?  If not, you need to disable this on the content server in server.ini.

Another thing to try is disable compression_filter in app.xml for webtop.

Have you modified your tomcat's web.xml, adding this?

<init-param>
<param-name>enablePooling</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>

Make sure you follow (or re-verify) section "Preparing Tomcat" in Webtop deployment guide.
