Failure to launch Tomcat from IntelliJ IDEA

java spring maven tomcat intellij-idea
15,334

Solution 1

As mentioned in some of the comments, this was caused by a duplication of referenced dependencies.

more specifically this was a reference to javax.servlet

To fix this, I opened my project's pom.xml file and removed the following:

<dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> <version>2.5</version> </dependency>

This fixed the problem. Weirdly enough, as I don't know enough about the Java build system or dependency inherritence in Java, I couldn't find another reference to javax.servlet in my pom.xml file and therefore I don't know where the second reference was coming from?

Solution 2

i face this problem due to url pattern problem.it's only my experience.it was like this url-pattern="a/b" after solved like this url-pattern="/a/b"

    I am a complete beginner at writing Java web apps, but I'm getting into Spring MVC.

    I have created a default spring app and am attempting to launch it using TomCat 8.0

    I am met with the following error:

    SEVERE: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[]] .... Caused by: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/apache/catalina/loader/WebappClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "javax/servlet/ServletContext"

    I know this might sound simple but I have no idea where to start. I assume from the message that either my Maven, project or build settings are incorrect as the wrong Type of servlet is being instantiated?

    Any help to get setup would be greatly appreciated.

    Full build log:
