My app is quit big and using many jars and tools. Platform - windows 2008 server, Spring , hibernate, Quarts, mysql, tomcat-7.35
When I deploy and start the server first
To fix this for TC Server 2.9, running Tomcat 7.0.39 I restricted the jars to skip during startup for the context config using:
org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.jarsToSkip=*.jar
in catalina.properties.
