Multiple contexts with the same path error running web service in Eclipse using Tomcat

Question

This is the error that I got when I created my first Axis2 web service using Eclipse  After I wrote the class  I created the web service with Apache Axis2  When I click the start server button in eclipse it gives an error message      Could not publish server configuration for Tomcat v6 0 Server at   localhost    Multiple contexts have a path of   FirstApache     FirstApache is the dynamic web project that I created before  I selected the correct web project from the configuration part in the web service wizard   How can I fix this

In STS Eclipse go to  project explorer  or  package explorer  and  there is a folder called  server   Open it and you will find server xml file  Inside this file at the bottom you find a definition like    lt Context docBase  myproject  path   myproject  reloadable  true     source  org eclipse jst jee server myproject   gt    You might find duplicates of the same definition that you would need to remove

Search for the server xml file and check your  lt Context gt  tags  probably there are multiple definitions for the same path  Remove the duplicates and it should work for you   Check out the answer here   Auto-format the xml file  control   shift   f  since the second  lt Context gt  tag may be on the same line  but outside the viewport and really far away from the visible one
