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

User_16TSJJun 30 2021

ords-error.pngSo, 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 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.

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.

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

Tomcat 10 is not yet supported by Oracle:
Supported Java EE Application Servers
Application ServerSupported Release
Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 2 (from version 12.2.1.3 and later) and 14c Release and later
Apache Tomcat Release 8.5.x through Release 9.0.x

Yes, ORDS will absolutely NOT work on Tomcat 10 today.
