I've searched the net for answers, but everything i've found didn't help at all. The issue is this: dynamic web project has been converted to maven project, and deploying it to tomcat7 works just fine, but after building a war file out of same project, and trying to run the same, i'm getting a org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException. I believe that all my dependencies are in place, thus i don't think it's the issue with maven, but rather with maven compiler. Furthermore, building war though eclipse out of the same project, runs just fine on tomcat, but building through maven, doesn't. here's the stack trace:

pom.xml is quit large, and it'won't fit, thus unable to post it, but i truly believe that all dependencies are in place... help would be greatly appreciated!

these are my plugins:

After few days, finally figured out what was the problem. I thought this might help others with similar issues. After building your .war file (either through m2e-wtp, or console mvn package), maven compiler was picking up java classes out of src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes folder instead of target folder (target/projectName/WEB-INF/classes), and thus reporting errors on imports, which caused errors in deploying .war file to tomcat. So, just remove classes folder out of your WEB-INF folder, and maven will take care of it.
