I am using Tomcat 7 in Eclipse for running a REST Spring web application with JPA Hibernate. I am getting a strange JBoss error while trying to start Tomcat with my app deployed in it. I don't understand why I am getting a JBoss error when I am using Tomcat. Here's the server log:

  • Was this after a Java upgrade to version 6u51? Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 21:00
  • No, I am using the default workbench Java. I have JRE7. But FYI, I ran a similar application in my machine sometime ago in Eclipse Tomcat, and it ran fine. Thanks! Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 21:02

  • Thanks. I am looking at the link and trying to locate the jars. But what I don't understand is, why I need JBoss jars when I am running Tomcat server!! Any idea? Commented Aug 6, 2013 at 21:11

I guess, you are missing a dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-logging</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0.CR1</version>
</dependency>

Thanks a lot! The error is solved! Though, I still don't understand why I need JBoss Jar for Tomcat!
Its not about the server. Its about hibernate which is using JBoss Logger
@kajarigd Can you also accept my last answer as in that was another bug in your code?
