Hi, My team used elasticsearch for the previous two projects, which are all running well in the server. I am currently working on another one using it, which also works well my local server. But when I deployed it on my beta environment, a problem occurred which did not happen in my local tomcat. All the jdk version in server is 1.7.0\_80. Could anyone tells me what might be the reason causing the this problem, and whether there is a solution to it? Looking forward to your reply, many thanks!

Hey,

is it possible that you are missing log4j or slf4j as a dependency in your tomcat project?
