早上，有个应用又挂了，客户端打开时报404，看进程是还在的。倒回第一次异常的地方，可见catalina.out中有如下信息：

这比较坑爹的是，好像没有一个属性在server.xml中设置如果某个webapp挂了，tomcat直接退出的。不然的话，如果后面有不受容器管理的操作比如socket连接，将会使得应用日志最后看起来是正常的，但实际上已经挂了。

这里其实看不出为什么应用挂掉的，逐步往后回查（看日志级别为SEVERE的），发现如下错误：

SEVERE: Resource ‘/WEB-INF/lib/slf4j-api-1.7.10.jar‘ is missing
Feb 04, 2017 8:46:56 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext reload
INFO: Reloading Context with name [] has started

看应用中，1.7.12的版本是有的。

怀疑是 <Context>节点的reloadable设置为"true"造成的，经查，该值确实为true，应该是自动加载期间版本不一致问题所致。

tomcat应用org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to stop component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[]]异常的根本原因
