Cause

javax.servlet-2.5.0.v...jar file is missing; you might have removed javax.servlet-2.5.0.v...jar file from BAMBOO_INSTALL/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/lib directory (maybe for trying to run Bamboo on Tomcat).

Resolution

Every time a remote agent fails to start, you should check if you are using the same hostname or IP address for your Bamboo Base URL (Administartion -> General Configuration tab) and for your Broker URI in BAMBOO_HOME/bamboo.cfg.xml file:

<property name="bamboo.jms.broker.client.uri">failover:(tcp://URL_GOES_HERE:54663?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=300000)?maxReconnectAttempts=10&amp;initialReconnectDelay=15000</property>
<property name="bamboo.jms.broker.uri">tcp://0.0.0.0:54663?wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=300000</property>

After, please check if the javax.servlet-2.5...jar exists in the BAMBOO_INSTALL/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/lib directory. If it doesn't, then feel free to download the same version of a stand alone Bamboo again, extract the files from the downloaded archive file, and copy the needed file to BAMBOO_INSTALL/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/lib directory.

Another possibility could be that you are using an unsupported version of Tomcat. Note that tomcat 7 is still not supported yet
