kie workbench on tomcat 7 starts and fails - something is still missing

[arnie....@mac.com]

I followed all the instructions and can get the app to start but one of the libraries cannot finish initializing due to a missing item as shown below.

I have the database configured and working - it creates the tables just fine.

[arnie....@mac.com]

After much googling, I found a posting from someone else using another product that uses the BTI TSR. THAT posting actually referenced a set up in the Tomcat context.xml file, so I set one up:

    <Resource auth="Container" name="comp/env/TransactionSynchronizationRegistry"
        type="javax.transaction.TransactionSynchronizationRegistry"
        factory="bitronix.tm.BitronixTransactionSynchronizationRegistryObjectFactory" />

    <ResourceLink global="comp/env/TransactionSynchronizationRegistry"
        name="comp/env/TransactionSynchronizationRegistry" />

and the previous message about not finding went away! Finally.

So this means the README.md file in the WAR is missing a step.

BUT, then another error came to the surface:

16-Sep-2016 11:11:06.484 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal ContainerBase.addChild: start:

So, yet another EE requirement missing on the Tomcat platform that shouldn't be running an EE application.

I found added javax.annotation-api-1.2.jar and that error went away. BUT, that results in yet another error:

16-Sep-2016 11:13:18.296 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart Error configuring application listener of class org.uberfire.backend.server.io.DisposableShutdownService
 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/ejb/EJB

So the tomcat-7 war cannot be used on tomcat-8.0.18.

:(

Will try the app on Wildfly 10.
