Weird error   you can try methods given by james goooseling  and also I have done it by following ways     Remove all jars or libraries from build path and lib folders and add them again in lib folder or build path as you wish  Check if you have servlet annotation  WebServlet for given servlet and if it has mapping in web xml as well    this is most common error due to which tomcat gets confused   that what url pattern must he use

Got the solution for this problem     Wooo    Make sure that Appliction server  Tomcat etc   uses the same java runtime version as per what your java application is using  Make sure that your using jre path not jdk path for the runtime enviroments Make sure when creating a project select the appropriate server runtime versions

I m not sure what happened in your case that fixed the issue  but your issue was on this line   Caused by  java lang NoClassDefFoundError  javax xml rpc handler soap SOAPMessageContext   You need to add jaxrpc-api jar to your  libs or add   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt javax xml lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt jaxrpc-api lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt x x x lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    to your maven dependencies

What helped me was deleting my target folder and recompile my project again  This problem occured to me when I used a second server for my tests that needed a server running  Conclusion  delete your target file when you make big changes to the war file

Main reason SOAPMessageContext NoClassDefFoundError So you need import this Class or jar  in IDEA   ctrl shift alt S    Libraries    find the absent class  edit the local Maven config     m2 repository your absent class for example commons-logging      maven-metadata-central xml   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt metadata modelVersion  1 1 0  gt   lt groupId gt commons-logging lt  groupId gt   lt artifactId gt commons-logging lt  artifactId gt   lt versioning gt   lt latest gt 1 2 lt  latest gt   lt release gt 1 2 lt  release gt   lt versions gt     lt version gt 1 0 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 0 1 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 0 2 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 0 3 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 0 4 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 1 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 1 1 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 1 2 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 1 3 lt  version gt     lt version gt 1 2 lt  version gt   lt  versions gt   lt lastUpdated gt 20140709195742 lt  lastUpdated gt   lt  versioning gt   lt  metadata gt     lt latest gt your need absend class version and useful lt  latest gt    because Maven will find  metadata-central xml  config lastest version as project use version   forgive my chinese english

I had a similar problem when deploying one of my portlets  The portlet has been developed for Liferay 6 2 on Windows  My runtime environment is Tomcat 7 running on JRE 1 6  JRockit 1 6   I have recently migrated to Eclipse 2019-3  I checked my Java Build Path  Project- gt Properties  Libraries tab   I noticed that the Apache Tomcat that is specified in the list of JARs and class folders on the build path was unbound  I selected that item  I clicked on the Edit button  Server Libary dialog was opened  I selected the correct Apache Tomcat  After applying the change  I redeployed the portlet and the problem was resolved  Sometimes you may need to delete the problematic portlet from the  Tomcat  webapps directory before deploying the corrected portlet  Also  sometimes I have experienced that deployment of a portlet takes more than usual  and redeploying it resolves the issue

According to me  this would happen if there are two offending classes of same name but with different version  Usually  it happens due to servlet-api jar  If its present in lib folder of your war  then pls remove it using whichever tool used for building war  Or in case of maven  add the dependency with scope specified as  provided   This will solve the compilation issue and at run time it will refer to jar provided by server environment  Pls configure the dependency as follows     lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt javax servlet lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt javax servlet-api lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 3 0 1 lt  version gt           lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt   lt  dependency gt

This issue arises because of different reasons  It might encountered if you are using Spring boot built war file  As Spring boot web and rest starter projects jars do have embedded Tomcat in it  hence fails with  SEVERE  ContainerBase addChild  start  org apache catalina LifecycleException    You can fix this by exclusion of the embedded tomcat at the time of packaging by using exclusions in case of maven   Maven dependency of  spring-boot-starter-web  will look like       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-web lt  artifactId gt           lt exclusions gt               lt exclusion gt                   lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt                   lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-tomcat lt  artifactId gt               lt  exclusion gt           lt  exclusions gt       lt  dependency gt
