I checked the tomcat version and servlet dependencies. I believe everything looks find.

BTW, I can run tomcat 8 on my version by using startup.sh script.

Are you able to build the project successfully? mvn clean package — Kyle Anderson, Aug 17 '17 at 14:29
Yes, it could compiled and generate a jar for this project. But I cannot run it. Everything I have checked looks fine. I have the latest JDK (1.8.0_144) and the tomcat is embed in Spring boot. — Ignorant_One, Aug 17 '17 at 15:46
It is a guide from Spring.io. The link is https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/. Thx man — Ignorant_One, Aug 18 '17 at 02:07
