The reference to JSBasicDataSourceFactory extends a library that Tomcat 8.x no longer supports

Resolution

1.  Stop the Apache Tomcat 8.x service on the JasperSoft server

2.  Navigate to the <Apache Tomcat 8.x Install Directory>\webapps\jasperserver-pro\META-INF directory

3.  Open the CONTEXT.XML file with a text editor

4.  Replace all instances of 'com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.tomcat.jndi.JSBasicDataSourceFactory' to 'com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.tomcat.jndi.JSCommonsBasicDataSourceFactory'

5.  Save changes to the file

6. Restart the Apache Tomcat 8.x service on the JasperSoft server
