Server Tomcat v10.0 Server at localhost failed to start

Question

I'm developing a web application in eclipse with Jax-rs framework and I run it on a TomEE plus server. The reason why I use TomEE Plus instead of standard tomcat is that I want to write my app with jax-rs and jax-rs is not supported by the standard tomcat and it will result in 404 every time the app is run. I have downloaded TomEE-Plus-9.0.0-M7 and added it to eclipse by setting the type as Tomcat v10.0 Server and set the installation directory to where i had unzipped the downloaded TomEE Plus files.i have also placed all needed jars for my app in web-inf/lib directory.the problem is that when i try to run the app on the created server i receive this error:

Server Tomcat v10.0 Server at localhost failed to start

Looking at the console I saw that there are some exceptions being thrown. this is the console :

I have read many solutions including deleting .snap file, deleting the server and creating new one, removing the server from targeted runtimes and ... . i really have no idea what the problem is and it's been two days that i'm stuck on this. I appreciate anyone who can help. thanks in advance.

jax-rs is perfectly fine on regular tomcat, just include the proper jars in your application and deploy. The error you get is indicating that you have compiled with a higher version of Java then supported by TomEE (or which you use running TomEE). However as stated you don't need TomEE to build a Jax-RS Webservice. — M. Deinum, May 20 '22 at 13:34
@M.Deinum Then could you please explain why I get 404 response message for an existing jax-rs resource when I run it on a regular tomcat server?by the way,i'm using jdk-16 and the tomee that I have downloaded supports java 8 or higher.are you sure that the error is related to java version? — Navid Nasro, May 20 '22 at 13:42
Yes it is related to the java version. You get the error because you are deploying on Tomcat 10 and probably written the application using Java Servlet API and not the Jakarta Servlet API (tomcat 10 is the latter, Tomcat 9 the former). — M. Deinum, May 20 '22 at 13:43
@M.Deinum I haven't used any servlet. I have extended the application class and using jakarta packages instead of javax. and when I assign it's directory to the selected server type it says that the directory contains files of tomcat version 10.0.4 so it can't be assigned to tomcat 9. — Navid Nasro, May 20 '22 at 14:09
Then add the proper Jax-RS jars to your application (so that they are included) and deploy to tomcat. TomEE is using an old ASM version that doesn't support the java version you are using. ASM7 supports upto Java11, anything higher will fail. — M. Deinum, May 20 '22 at 14:16
ok i have already added the jaxrs jars to my project.then what about the 404 message when I use the regular tomcat?could you please check out these two links?see the beginning of this [link](https://www.theserverside.com/video/Step-by-step-RESTful-web-service-example-in-Java-using-Eclipse) and the end of this [link](https://www.theserverside.com/video/Use-Tomcat-Eclipse-to-create-a-JAX-RS-REST-web-service) — Navid Nasro, May 20 '22 at 14:25
You need to add the jax-rs api and an implementation, without an implementation it will do nothing. I would also suggest to find another tutorial and if you do follow the tutorial (using the same versions etc. etc.) but you choose to use newer versions. As mentioned add next to the jax-rs api an implementation (like Jersey) and deploy on tomcat instead. The tutorial you link to even says so (not mentioning a concrete implementation, but still referencing that you need an implementation)., — M. Deinum, May 20 '22 at 17:27
@M.Deinum hi again, I'm really sorry that I'm leaving another comment after days, I didn't have access to the internet for some days. I did as you said, added the resteasy implementation libraries to the web-inf->lib folder and used the standard tomcat v.10. the problems that I spoke of in this question are gone but when I run the app on the created server (tomcat 10) it doesn't recognize my project and returns 404 for the root address (http://localhost:9999/Form, form is the name of my project).what should I do now? — Navid Nasro, May 24 '22 at 10:09

I can see this in the logs: Unsupported class file major version 60

Is it possible you compiled the code using Java 16 but are now trying to execute on something below?

Server Tomcat v10.0 Server at localhost failed to start
