DRAFT KB-XXXX Steps to resolve java.io.FileNotFoundException regarding apache-tomcat/conf/tomcatResources.xml

Symptoms

When Starting Tomcat, the following error will be displayed:

SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.processContextConfig Parse error in context.xml for [/suite]
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/local/appian/tomcat/apache-tomcat/conf/tomcatResources.xml (No such file or directory)

This initial error is followed by multiple errors similar to the below, referencing different .jar files:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/local/appian/tomcat/apache-tomcat/lib/orai18n-mapping.jar (No such file or directory)

Cause

The Oracle jdbc archive contains several companion jars that are not required for integration with Appian. One of these, xmlparserv2.jar, causes issues with Tomcat startup when imported into /tomcat/apache-tomcat/lib/

Action

Remove the xmlparserv2.jar from /tomcat/apache-tomcat/lib/ folder, and being the startup process again. 

Affected Versions

This article applies to all versions of Appian 18.3 and later.
