I am getting the following error when i tried to start a java spring software that runs under apache:-

Sep 24, 2012 12:08:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Sep 24, 2012 12:08:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/jw] startup failed due to previous errors
Sep 24, 2012 12:08:21 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR

Sep 24, 2012 12:08:21 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start

Sep 24, 2012 12:08:21 PM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init
INFO: JK: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009
Sep 24, 2012 12:08:21 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start

Sep 24, 2012 12:08:21 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 2251 ms

So what might be causing this error. BR

:::UPDATED:::

The full error starts with the following, baring in mind that i am using windows 7 OS :-**

Don't you have any other errors? I think there is a listener that is configured in your web.xml file that did not start but the cause can be a million things. – Turcotte
thanks for the reply,, i have updated my original post with the full error. Best Regards – Conciliatory

Enable more detailed logging by creating a file logging.properties at WEB-INF\classes\ with the following content:

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO

org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

Now the offender should show up in the stack trace.

Reference:

Debugging the dreaded "SEVERE: Error listenerStart" AND "SEVERE: error filterStart" Tomcat Error messages

Note that those are two separate "org.apache.catalina..." lines. – Canoewood

You seem to have an issue with the initialisation of atomikos. Maybe the default values don't work properly for your application:

No properties path set - looking for transactions.properties in classpath...
transactions.properties not found - looking for jta.properties in classpath...
Failed to open transactions properties file - using default values

thanks for the reply, can u indicate how i can work on solving this issue? – Conciliatory
I'm not an atomikos specialist but try searching the atomikos.com documentation. What is clear is that you need to create a file in your classpath which contains your properties. – Turcotte
the strange this is that i use to run the application without any errors. but suddenly i got this error .BR – Conciliatory

Maybe you are generating jdk 8 source code on your project or some library and deploying on a jdk 7 or jdk 6 server.
