java - Tomcat Error: WARNING: Failed to retrieve JNDI naming context for container

Question

I am encountering the following error within the catalina.2013-12-31.log file on the Tomcat70/logs/ folder, when I attempt to start a recently deployed web application on Tomcat 7.

Dec 31, 2013 10:11:20 AM org.apache.catalina.deploy.NamingResources cleanUp
WARNING: Failed to retrieve JNDI naming context for container [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/crm]] so no cleanup was performed for that container

My application is a JDK7 Web Application. I have tried to look for similar questions and tried some suggestions such as restarting the server (in order to get to clear some XML files), but it did not work.

Any ideas please?

Answer 1

open server configuration by double-clicking on the server name. after that check the checkbox of "Publish module contexts to separate XML files". and then restart the server

Sometimes, It's worked by removing and adding the server will resolves this issue
