java.lang.ClassCircularityError: java/util/logging/LogRecord from Tomcat8

I have configured logback.xml for my spring boot application. My spring boot version - 1.3.3.RELEASE, java version - 1.8 update 45, tomcat version - 8.

I have put logback.xml file in my local tomcats /lib folder.

Whenever I am running my tomcat without debug configuration it works fine.

But whenever I am trying run server with debug configured in catalina.bat file (with this option - set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket...... ) it displays java.lang.ClassCircularityError: java/util/logging/LogRecord and tomcat window closes.

Detailsed error trace :

java.lang.ClassCircularityError: java/util/logging/LogRecord

I have tried all the solutions given in thread - ClassCircularityError when running Tomcat 6 from Eclipse

But nothing is working.

Does anyone faced this issue recently? Is there any solution or workaround for this issue?

Thanks.

Solution There are two workarounds:

  1. In your project, move the <contextListener ...> line in your logback.xml configuration file to the end of the file.

  2. Instead of step 1 above, another workaround exists for those who are running Tomcat from Eclipse. Don't. Instead, run Tomcat from the terminal:

    ./catalina.sh start
