I hope you can help me. Obsidianfarmer

Solution 1

1.Open command prompt using "Run as administrator" or using sudo in Linux

2. Go to the "bin" directory of Tomcat folder. for example: cd C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 8.0.15\bin

Note the version number and the accurate Location.

3. Run 'startup.bat' and the Server should start

4. Open a web browser entered http://localhost:8080/

5. If the server runns without exceptions, this means that you must give eclipse administrative privileges.

to do that you can visit: Windows 7 - Eclipse now needs me to run as administrator or https://askubuntu.com/questions/249098/how-do-i-run-eclipse-as-sudo

Solution 2

For Java-EE projects converted to Maven project with jstl dependency in pom.xml: In my case, I needed to add Maven dependencies to the build path

Walkthrough:

• right click the project in question
• open Properties
• click on Deployment Assembly
• click Add
• select Java Build Path Entries
• select Maven dependencies

---

Update: also check your Execution enviroment && Workspace JRE are correctly setup.

Solution 3

I had this problem because in the eclipse configuration I had the JDK folder (jdk1.6.0_45) set as the JRE location. Instead it should have been set to jre6 in my "Installed JREs" preferences.

[earthmover]

have you added tomcat-7 jars in your project???

[Fischmaster3001]

sry for aking :( but witch Jars do you mean, tomcat-api, tomcat-util or something else? I am a Beginner in JSP/Tomcat

[earthmover]

just right-click your project, then go to your build-path and check if there is tomcat-7 library or not.

[Fischmaster3001]

thx, there was a "Apache Tomcat v7.0[Apache Tomcat v7.0]" but not selected, i have selected it now but I get still this Exception :(

[earthmover]

add you web.xml code here...

[Fischmaster3001]

ok, I've added the xml into my Question

[Ardi Goxhaj]

Is your index.jsp in your /WEB-INF directory? I seems like a path error to me...

[Mohan Raj]

Add the tomcat path in the configure class path section of the project.
