Cannot get tomcat 8 Up : Zip file exception

Question

Did the following:

1. Installed new tomcat 8.0.23 and 8.0.36 and used.
2. Used both Java 8 and 7 (Changed java 8 versions update 45 and 91)
3. Changed permissions to 777 in the tomcat folder
4. Changed tomcat logging level to FINEST to get which zip file not getting opened. (does not provide the name)

5. These are container logs, if that helps, catalina.out

6. Used a bare tomcat and that gets up of course so no issues in the system. 100% something in my exploded war, but can't get what.

Can some one help ?

Answer 1

Finally found the issue. The exploded war's lib had a jar file that was corrupted. Manually downloading and copying that jar, in webapps fixed the issue.

Thanks all for the support!!
