title: Tomcat 7.0.73 doesn't work with java 9
body: <p>Unable to start tomcat based app with java 9 because of default "java.endorsed.dirs" option in catalina.sh.</p>
  
  <pre><code>-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/local/share/tomcat/endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules. 
  Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. 
  Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a work around for this?</p>
