I am ready for this to be a newbie question, apologies in advance!
I've refactored my project from an example "first look at restful/spring" type exercise into a customised application. Somewhere along the way I've moved/deleted a reference to something and I'm now getting compilation errors like this:
/C:/<>/src/main/java/resful/layer/MuliRestfulApplication.java:[9,8] cannot access javax.servlet.ServletException class file for javax.servlet.ServletException not found
In Eclipse IDE I have a market stating: - The type javax.servlet.ServletContext cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files - The type javax.servlet.ServletException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
So it looks as though I've deleted the reference to the jar that contains javax.servlet.XYZ.
Please could someone step me though how I should add the spring file into the project properly for a Restful API application? I'm not sure if I should be adding jars in a lib folder as I used to with POJOs, as spring applications manage dependencies little differently as I understand it.
I'm using Maven to build my project, I see the m2 folder with lots of jars in, see below:
I can't post images of my project organisation yet due to stackoverflow police FYI.
And help MUCH appreciated.

Here's my Java class file:
It's the package declaration that's giving me the error, eclipse says "The type javax.servlet.ServletException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files"
package resfullayer;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder;
import org.springframework.boot.context.web.SpringBootServletInitializer;
@SpringBootApplication
public class MuliRestfulApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer{
public static void main(String args[]) {
SpringApplication.run(MuliRestfulApplication.class, args);
}
// Used when deploying to a standalone servlet container
@Override
protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
return application.sources(MuliRestfulApplication.class);
}
}
This is my build.gradle file
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.3.RELEASE")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'

}
task deployToTomcat(type: Copy) {

into "C:/Users/Muli/Desktop/apache-tomcat-7.0.62/webapps"
}

I've also noticed that the stack trace skips 2 non existent resource directories. Perhaps I've deleted this as part of the refactor (/screw up)? If so can I add it back/generate it somehow?
