Getting Exceptions while trying to run Tomcat

Question

I have written a Spring MVC application in IntelliJ. This is the pom.xml for it.

I searched for solving this issue on Stackoverflow, and it was suggested in some of the posts to change the scope in pom.xml to provided for all dependencies except the junit one.

After I changed the pom, this LifeCycleException was gone. But, now whenever I tried to hit the endpoints corresponding to the DispatcherServlet, I got HTTP 500 error.

I checked these 2 posts - 1 and 2. I found out that because of my new POM, the WEB-INF/lib folder was not having the JARs/Maven Dependencies, leading to this new error. Because of this reason, I am stuck in a deadlock. I remove one error and other surfaces.

Also, I tried to put load-on-startup tag in web.xml, which in turn led to HTTP 404.

web.xml

<web-app>
  <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>DefaultServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>DefaultServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

DefaultServlet-servlet.xml

    @RequestMapping("/")

        model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hey!");
        model.addAttribute("tagline", "Hello!");

        return "welcome";
    }

It will be great in case someone can help. Thanks .

I have faced this problem before, and the problem turned out to be just some corrupted jars in the local repository, try to delete .m2 folder.

Since you are using windows, this should be the path to your .m2 repo.

C:\Users\[username]\.m2\repository

Can you please explain in brief the steps to be followed? Sorry I can't find any .m2 folder in IntelliJ project explorer. – user249117 May 16 '18 at 07:29
Well I tried doing that. But it didn't help. What pom do I need to use? The new one with scope as provided or the previous one? – user249117 May 16 '18 at 08:03
