javax.servlet.ServletException: Not running on Jetty, JSR-356 support unavailable

Question

I am facing a problem while deploying a war on to tomcat instance,

Tomcat version details,

POM Dependency :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-websocket</artifactId>
</dependency>

I have created a war using maven plugin and tried to deploy on tomcat 7. I was able to deploy but unable to start the webapp. When I find the logs for it, it gave below stacktrace,

SEVERE: Error during ServletContainerInitializer processing

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Edit :

It runs fine when I run the application using STS

Solution 1

The problem is identified to be confusion over the websocket jars of tomcat and my application jars. I have removed it from the war file and it started working,

I used maven plug in to remove the jars as below,

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/websocket-*.jar</packagingExcludes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The jars which were creating problem are,

Solution 2

Search in pom.xml for

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>

and remove it.
