When you start tomcat server and get the error “SEVER: Error listenerStart”… “SEVERE: Context [/xxxxxxxxxx] startup failed due to previous errors”, it is because you have multiple apps under webapp/ folder. You need add the following lines in every app’s web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>webAppRootKey</param-name>
<param-value>xxxxxxxxxx.root</param-value>
</context-param>
It is Log4jWebConfigurer’s requirement…
