Tomcat MBean Exception on WAR hot deployment

We have a J2EE web application that runs on Apache Tomcat 7.0.
We use hot deployment for our application updates.
Recently, while trying to deploy a new WAR, it failed with the following exception. I have removed the WAR and tried again, but am getting the same run time exception.
I have already tried the following
1) Tomcat Restart
2) Server Reboot
3) Cleaning up tmp
4) Cleaning up Catalina Cache
What's going wrong?

you have a bean validation implementation of the specification 1.1 but tomee 1 only supports bean validation 1.0 by default. Migrating to tomee 7 is surely the easiest to solve it without playing with classloading configuration.

Maybe you can try other environment, i can show mine:
Windows 10 64bit
apache-tomcat-8.5.20
activiti-6.0.0
Then i just put the wars into webapp, and start the tomcat, use the H2 database by default.
Webapp locations after start
