Assuming you are on Windows (this bug is caused by the crappy bat files escaping), It is a bug introduced in the latest versions (7.0.56
and 8.0.14
) to workaround another bug. Try to remove the "
around the JAVA_OPTS
declaration in catalina.bat
. It fixed it for me with Tomcat 7.0.56
yesterday.
In 7.0.56
in bin/catalina.bat:179
and 184
:noJuliConfig
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%"
..
:noJuliManager
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%"
to
:noJuliConfig
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_CONFIG%
..
:noJuliManager
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% %LOGGING_MANAGER%
For your asterisk, it might only be a configuration of yours somewhere that appends it to the host declaration.
I saw this on Tomcat's bugtracker yesterday but I can't find the link again. Edit Found it! https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56895
I hope it fixes your problem.
