Description:
An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.startInternal(AuthenticatorBase.java:1319)
The following method did not exist:
'java.lang.String javax.servlet.ServletContext.getVirtualServerName()'
The calling method's class, org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase, was loaded from the following location:
jar:file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/9.0.68/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.68.jar!/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/AuthenticatorBase.class
The called method's class, javax.servlet.ServletContext, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/javax/servlet/servlet-api/2.5/servlet-api-2.5.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.class
jar:file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/org/apache/tomcat/embed/tomcat-embed-core/9.0.68/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.68.jar!/javax/servlet/ServletContext.class
The called method's class hierarchy was loaded from the following locations:
javax.servlet.ServletContext: file:/C:/Users/james/.m2/repository/javax/servlet/servlet-api/2.5/servlet-api-2.5.jar
Action:
Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase and javax.servlet.ServletContext
tried downloading latest servlet 4.0.1. tried to remove old files specified in error description. Unsure how to proceed. Is there a way to exclude the servlet somehow?
