As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

There are no alfresco classes in your trace - can you try removing/renaming the alfresco.war file and restarting tomcat to see if you still get the error?
If you do, then it's not Alfresco related.
If you don't then we'd have to look further at what is going on.
