No.. do i need to include?. It is there in the tomcat lib. so i didn't include — ANILBABU, Nov 14 '13 at 08:27
No you don't need to include it.

Delete

 appserv-admin.jar, servlet-api.jar and appserv-deployment-client.jar

from web-inf/lib folder of your war..

It deploys well on tomcat..

1) keep your .war file inside the webapps folder

2) go into bin directory and start the tomcat server ./startup.sh by this command

if you want to configure datasource jndi resources

or to get started soon with datasource you can put your datasource information inside context.xml of your tomcat server. which is like

<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" name="datasource" password="root" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/tmpDb" username="root"/>

Hope it helps.

Yes... i have created jndi resource, still i am getting above exception – ANILBABU Nov 14 '13 at 08:34
you might be using catalina.jar or catalina dependencies in your project(jar or as dependency in your maven), just remove it. – Ashish Nov 14 '13 at 08:42
I ave tried placing catalina.jar in web-inf/lib.. still problem persists @Ashish. ... Where will be the dependecy to remove?.. Kindly let me know possible dependecies... – ANILBABU Nov 14 '13 at 08:45
you dont have to include catalina.jar, try without it. – Ashish Nov 14 '13 at 08:46
I have tried without catalina from beginning.. no use.. same problem persists.. shall i give list of the jars in web-inf/lib ... ?. @Ashish..................... – ANILBABU Nov 14 '13 at 08:50
@Ashish.. I have added jars in the question. can you please check and give me solution – ANILBABU Nov 14 '13 at 09:07
