文章原创地址：org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component
今天来了个新同事，让他先熟悉一下我们的工程项目，从svn下载下来以后，配置完成却怎么都无法正常启动起来，并且报org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/platform]]的错误，为什么在我们的机子上执行正常，同样的配置在他的机子上却运行不起来呢，百度、Google了好久也没解决问题，最后才发现原来是Tomcat版本问题，真是气煞我也。
下面是问题报出的异常：
严重: ContainerBase.addChild: start:
