Tomcat 8.0 启动失败 Caused by: The main resource set specified [*] is not valid

今天我尝试着将eclipse版本从luna升级到mars。我从luna上拷贝了tomcat插件文件到mars上。当我在mars上启动tomcat时，服务启动失败了。错误信息如下:

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/reporting-rest]] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.report(FutureTask.java:122) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.get(FutureTask.java:192) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.startInternal(ContainerBase.java:916) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.startInternal(StandardHost.java:868) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1408)atorg.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase$StartChild.call(ContainerBase.java:1398) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/reporting-rest]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) … 6 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot@17f7f45] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java:4854) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal(StandardContext.java:4983) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) … 6 more Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The main resource set specified [Users/Aileen/Documents/Applications/Tomcat-8.0.15/webapps/finalProject] is not valid at org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot.startInternal(StandardRoot.java:665) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) … 9 more

如日志展示的那样， 主要的问题是项目[Users/Aileen/Documents/Applications/Tomcat-8.0.15/webapps/finalProject] 是无效的。这是因为我在这个tomcat服务器上面发布过finalProject项目， 但是随后我又手动将它删除了， 因此tomcat无法找到这个目录。

解决方案

打开你tomcat安装目录下的/conf/server.xml文件，找到开始标签为<context. 标签，删除上面错误信息提到的相关项目的行 - 对我来说相关项目就是finalProject。 然后重启tomcat服务， 搞定。
