'Illegal access' error

A docker with Apache, Tomcat and Elasticsearch images starts and runs without issue. But after restart with docker-compose down/up , the following error occurs:

What is the root cause of this issue, is this related to Elasticsearch? How to fix it?
Thx in advance!

Why are you running Elasticsearch in Tomcat? This means you are running embedded in another java application, which is not supported.

This configuration works on a regular server well, the problem occur with docker only,
Do you mean this configuration with docker is not supported?

I mean running inside Tomcat, whether in docker or not, is unsupported. I'm not sure what the issue is here, but I suggest you run Elasticsearch as a server directly, not inside Tomcat.

Actually the Elasticsearch server runs directly in his own container. Fuseki runs in Tomcat deployed as war file (as Elasticsearch client).

The "Illegal access" error is reproducible, after a couple of restarts (with down/up) the Tomcat container will fail to start up.
Here the beginning the error should be relevant for the root cause. (In the initial description were the Catalina errors only)

The error occurs when Tomcat App-Manager is opened or refreshed, not during the container start. The Tomcat container will still run despite the error, but the Fuseki application.

Due to the timeout it seems to be a network issue between the containers, but the connection looks fine. The Elasticsearch had (during this error) the internal IP 192.168.96.2 as expected.
From Tomcat container is possible to get data over 9200 respectively 9300 ports, for example:

 root@ddf71d10c222:/usr/local/tomcat# wget http://elasticsearch:9200
 --2018-12-06 09:58:35--  http://elasticsearch:9200/

Do you have any clue why this error occurs?

As a separate topic, the Elasticsearch container generates specific indexes named like:
.watches
.triggered_watches
.monitoring-alerts-6
.watcher-history-6- ( .watcher-history-6-2018.12.03, .watcher-history-6-2018.12.04...)
.monitoring-es-6- (.monitoring-es-6--2018.12.03, .monitoring-es-6-2018.12.04...)

They may be useful for Logstash or Kibana, but how is possible to avoid them?
