Delete the project named Servers  or Servers1  Servers2 which contains your server xml   find it in Package Explorer workspace  Remove server from Eclipse   Go to Window  gt  Preferences  gt  Server  gt  Runtime Environment  here remove the server your are using from eclipse and add it again doing this will create a new Server project folder in Eclipse    Remove server from Project   Also remove the server in your project Build path  gt  configuration path  gt  Java Build path  and add again  now you got a fresh Server project which will not have Multiple Context on its server xml  only deleting duplicate path in server xml solved the existing issue but still server dint start  by doing this Server started Apache Tomcat v7  and  worked normal And I don t know whether this is good practice or not  I am a starter in programming

Your webapp has servletcontainer specific libraries like servlet-api jar file in its  WEB-INF lib  This is not right   Remove them all    The  WEB-INF lib should contain only the libraries specific to the webapp  not to the servletcontainer  The servletcontainer  like Tomcat  is the one who should already provide the servletcontainer specific libraries    If you supply libraries from an arbitrary servletcontainer of a different make version  you ll run into this kind of problems because your webapp wouldn t be able to run on a servletcontainer of a different make version than where those libraries are originated from   How to solve  In Eclipse  Right click on the project in eclipse Properties -  Java Build Path -  Add library -  Server Runtime Library -  Apache Tomcat  Im Maven Project -  add follwing line in pom xml file   lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt javax servlet lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt servlet-api lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt   default javax servlet version  lt  version gt               lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt           lt  dependency gt           lt dependency gt               lt groupId gt javax servlet jsp lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt jsp-api lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt   default javax servlet jsp version  lt  version gt               lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt           lt  dependency gt

I have observed a similar issue in my project  The issue was solved when the jar with the missing class definition was pasted into the lib directory of tomcat

This issue might also be caused by a broken Maven repository   I observe the SEVERE  A child container failed during start message from time to time when working with Eclipse  My Eclipse workspace has several projects  Some of the projects have common external dependencies  If Maven repository is empty  or I add new dependencies into pom xml files   Eclipse starts downloading libraries specified in pom xml into Maven repository  And Eclipse does that in parallel for several projects in the workspace  It might happen that several Eclipse threads would be downloading the same file simultaneously into the same place in Maven repository  As a result  this file becomes corrupted   So  this is how you could resolve the issue    Close your Eclipse  If you know which specific jar-file is broken in Maven repository  then delete that file  If you do not know which file is broken in Maven repository  then delete the whole repository  rm -rf  HOME  m2   For each project  run mvn package in the command line  It is important to run the command for each project one-by-one  not in parallel  thus  you ensure that only one instance of Maven runs each time  Open your Eclipse

You must have packaged the servlet-api jar along with the other libraries in your war file  You can verify this by opening up your war file and navigating to the WEB-INF lib folder    Ideally  you should not provide the servlet-api jar  The container  in your case Tomcat  is responsible for providing it at deploy time to your application  If you try to provide it as well  then issues arise due to version mismatch etc  Best practise is to just avoid packaging it  Remove it from the WEB-INF lib   Additional Information  If you are using maven for your packaging  then simply add the provided tag with the dependency and maven will make sure not to package it in the final war file  Something like   lt dependency gt       lt artifact gt         lt group gt           lt version gt           lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt   lt   lt dependency gt

Faced the same issue  Changed the JRE to the correct 1 8 version and do a maven clean and build resolve the issue  You may need to change the Project Facet and verify the correct path
