WAR file not starting in tomcat 7

Question

I am failing to start my war file, compiled using maven. When I compile the application without the dependencies added it starts properly but after adding the dependencies I get the following errors. I am using the following development environment windows 7, java SE6, maven 3.0.5.

This is an error generated by tomcat 7

Answer 1

Here problem occurs after you are adding dependencies in your WAR file.So you can remove all these dependencies from local repository and regenarate JAR file.

And still you are facing some issues then once try with Tomcat 6.0. Previously I also faced this same issue and I changed my Tomcat and it worked fine for me.

Answer 2

If still stuck, try with Tomcat 6 once as well!
