We have a webapp that uses WebapplicationInitializer and does not have web.xml. This webapp worked fine on tomcat 7.0.99 but fails to work on tomcat 7.0.100. Version. This is an spring mvc app used annotations and WebApplicationInitializer to configure. Please let me know if there is any setting that needs to added to tomcat conf . Hoping for not updating the webapp code. Thank you.

I have the same problem
This is a bug
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64191
Will be fixed in version 7.0.103 https://github.com/apache/tomcat/releases/tag/7.0.103
I finally got it working by adding 1. web.xml and define default servlet 2. adding servlet xml file where I added scan code base tag and also bean definition tags for ApplicationInitializer class. Then I could see the code started to work. I hope tomcat 7.0.100 has a flag that could set to true or false to retain previous functionality.
