I am trying to run a project on a Tomcat server 7.0 from within eclipse, and I am getting the error: Server Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost failed to start

I am using spring framework for the first time so I guess I have something misconfigured.

Here is my stacktrace:

  • Change your workspace from `C` to other directory and try. – Altmish-E-Azam Nov 05 '14 at 10:52
  • My other projects are working correctly, so I don't think that the problem is the directory – Simo03 Nov 05 '14 at 10:56

  1. Remove the projects which are not already in use from the Tomcat Server(Servers console).

enter image description here

  1. delete the .snap file. from the following directory

    WORKSPACE-DIRECTORY\.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources

Simple Solution please check your web.xml file Syntax,

when I use this code I got same error, attr2 com.abc.logindemo.code.AttributeExample2 attr2 callAttribute2

when I use attr2 com.abc.logindemo.code.AttributeExample2 attr2 /callAttribute2

most of the time we put wrong servlet-class or url-pattern wrong, So make sure servlet-class and servle

This error can be resolved following four cases

1.Clean project & server

Or

2.Remove .snap file from this directory

<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources

Or

3.Remove temp file from this directory

<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core

4. Remove the current tomcat object from the server tab and create new one(while creating make sure you removed tomcat old object completely from the option

configure run time environments

Hope helped you.

Happy coding!

Clean and Publish the server again and deploy the code again.
