Please help me with this i am also not getting any root cause so that i can check for that.

If you want any file details please ask My web.xml

<web-app >
<display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
        <param-value>com.gaian.adservice</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<resource-ref>
    <description>DB Connection</description>
    <res-ref-name>project</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

on previous error i got

Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to process either the global, per-host or context-specific context.xml file therefore the [/BannerAdServing] Context cannot be started.
at org.apache.catalina.startup.FailedContext.startInternal(FailedContext.java:199)
at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:152)
... 48 more

Thank you!

Can you post your web.xml here ? also look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13923759/tomcat-failing-to-deploy-war if that help you. — redoc, Aug 26 '16 at 11:13
When an error prevents Tomcat from starting any context, it is important to read carefully the previous traces in the log file to find some errors which might be the caused of the problem. Have you? — Little Santi, Aug 26 '16 at 11:29
Can you find the *first* exception related to this problem? Another hint is to look for the first exception that refers to your code. — Tamas Rev, Aug 26 '16 at 11:53
Another question: is this your *full* `web.xml` ? It's missing the `` closing tag. — Tamas Rev, Aug 26 '16 at 11:54
this is only the first exception i am getting and i edited web.xml but it's not displaying the closing tag in question — Ravi Teja, Aug 26 '16 at 11:59

I have written context.xml in my application

<context>
  ...
</context>

but i found that it should start with capital like

 <Context>
  ...
</Context>

Thanks all for your time and help
