Please provide more details (which container you are using,..) May be something to do with your java installation. Are you using tomcat?
Then you need either JAVA_HOME set to your JDK installation or JRE_HOME set to your jre installation(if you have only JRE). (compatible version with the tomcat of course).

[Sandeep Bhandari]

yes, the root cause is in your post as:

root cause

Unable to find a javac compiler;

Check that java is installed and proper classpath and path variables are set.
