The os is running is Arch Linux x86-64. I'm trying to start tomcat7.service via systemctl start tomcat7.service, but it throws a error message:

Job for tomcat7.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status tomcat7.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

When I execute systemctl status tomcat7.service, it shows this message:

If I make ls /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime to check if I have a Java environment, it shows:

So, directory exists.

What could be happening? Thank you

It gives the same error, but, instead of show /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime, it shows /usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk (as excepted)

Are you sure you have a Java installed in your Arch Linux? Check this page for more instructions. If you use the command archlinux-java status, does it list one or more versions of Java installed?

I think so. I can run and compile java programas via java and javac respectively. When I execute archlinux-java status, it is only show one version: java-9-openjdk (default)

You need to set java-8 or earlier as your default java version to work with tomcat on archlinux. Follow the arch wiki guide to get the correct version installed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java#Officially_supported_packages

To do that run:

sudo archlinux-java set java-8-openjdk

I had the same problem, with tomcat8 on arch, and setting the default to java-8 fixed the problem for me. If you have the option to migrate to tomcat8, that may solve your problem.
