Im having issue running ORDS 26.2.2 on Tomcat 9
FAIL - Application at context path [/ords] could not be started
FAIL - Encountered exception [org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/ords]]]
ORDS 26.2.2 works fine as standalone.
I wondered if the below has kicked in early? - source
Important: Action required for Tomcat and WebLogic administrators
Starting with ORDS 26.4 (planned for Winter 2026), Oracle REST Data Services will add support for Tomcat 10 and WebLogic 15. This means that ORDS will no longer run on older versions of WebLogic and Tomcat.
As of ORDS version 26.4
- Apache Tomcat users: ORDS will no longer be compatible with Tomcat 9 (or earlier). Upgrade to Tomcat 10 (recommended: 10.1.x) or later.
- Oracle WebLogic Server users: ORDS will no longer be compatible with WebLogic Server 14c (or earlier). Upgrade to WebLogic Server 15 (or later).
Until this change has been implemented, ORDS still requires Tomcat 9 or WebLogic 14, do not attempt to migrate before ORDS 26.4 is released. ORDS Standalone is unaffected by this change.
