Ords oracle.dbtools.entrypoint.WebApplicationRequestEntryPoint is not a servlet error on Tomcat

User_16TSJ

So, I'm an SRE and I've been given the task of setting up tomcat/ords in AWS ECS. I'm a complete noob when it comes to tomcat and Java for that matter. I've followed an article on setting up ords with tomcat. I've built the docker container with Tomcat and ords, but when I hit the path of /ords, I get the error in the attached image. I did notice there is a webapps/ords/oracle/dbtools directory, but that only contains a jarcl directory, not an entrypoint directory as alluded to in the error. Could someone help me debug this error? This is the article I used to build the container: https://oracle-base.com/articles/misc/oracle-rest-data-services-ords-installation-on-tomcat

Thanks!

I never found the solution for the issue, but I believe it was related to Tomcat 10.x. I downgraded Tomcat to version 9 and the error went away.

I have the same error simply by deploying ORDS on Tomcat locally. I'm using ORDS (21.1.3.153.1102) and Tomcat (10.0.11) installed on windows 10.

Yes it worked on 9! This will do for now. Thanks.
