Jenkins not deploying on Tomcat; SSH Service not starting

Question

So I've had a couple of problems happening. My first problem is that even though sshd.service and sshd.socket are enabled with systemctl, it does not automatically start. There are no errors reported in journalctl, it just does not start. When issuing systemctl status sshd.service and systemctl status sshd.socket, there is nothing to report. Once I manually start them, there are no errors reported, and everything works as expected.
sshd.socket
[Unit]
Conflicts=sshd.service
Wants=sshdgenkeys.service
[Socket]
ListenStream=22
Accept=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
sshd.service
[Unit]
Description=OpenSSH Daemon
Wants=sshdgenkeys.service
After=sshdgenkeys.service
After=network.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/sshd -D
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=process
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# This service file runs an SSH daemon that forks for each incoming connection.
# If you prefer to spawn on-demand daemons, use sshd.socket and [email protected].
The second problem is my tomcat service. It won't start the Jenkins. I've linked the jenkins.war file to the webapps folder. When I start tomcat using systemctl start tomcat8, this is the output of journalctl -xn

EDIT:
The SSHD problem is fixed. I read more closely at the sshd.socket config, and it clearly states it conflicts with sshd.service. I disabled service and everything works fine. But I am still having trouble getting Jenkins to work with Tomcat.

Answer 1

Thank you, but the problem is a little different from that. These are
exploded web apps outside the applications dir. I deployed them
through the console initially; on the other servers, when WL restarts,
the apps are deployed back to their targets just fine. It's only this
box that loses sense of the targets on WL restart.
We're on 6.1, so a few people have suggested upgrading to 6.1 sp4 --
they've said they've seen this problem, and the sp corrects it.
That said, this is a production box and upgrading it is a hassle. I'll
get started on scheduling that, but if anyone has any ideas in the
meantime, I'd greatly appreciate it. If not, thanks anyway. :)

WLServer should start in development mode for a application
in the applications dir to deploy.
STARTMODE=false

This is bad, obviously, because the server won't restore properly
after a restart.
After a while, I get target="box,box,box,box" that represents the
multiple times I've deployed that application to the target "box".
From config.xml:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="revx" Path="F:\revx">
<WebAppComponent Name="revx"
Targets="giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm,giocm"
URI="revx"/>
</Application>
The operating system is Windows 2000 5.00.2195 ... everything was
working fine until I re-installed the Windows service this weekend.
I've checked permissions on the folder, on the file, and who the
service is running as. I've manually edited config.xml to remove the
duplicate target entries.
I've seen some other posts from people who have also experienced
applications not deploying on WL restart, but I don't see any
resolutions.
