Apache Tomcat and Apache TomEE server is not running web projects in eclipse

Question

At first I'm apologizing for asking same question twice. First time I didn't get any answer. Then I tried myself to solve the problem,but failed. This is why I'm asking the question again and this time I'm putting it briefly.
I was learning Spring MVC framework by myself. I was using jdk 8.20 version, tomcat 8.0.9 version and eclipse luna. At first everything was working smoothly. But all of a sudden my tomcat server installed in eclipse stopped working. I was failed to run it using cmd or startup.bat too.

Problem asked here. After that I tried myself and I changed the server. I used tomcat 7 and TomEE 1.7.0. Every time my server started smoothly, I installed the server in eclipse smoothly. But whenever I tried to create a project and run it, eclipse couldn't use the server anymore. Even after attempting to run a project, eclipse couldn't start it by start command. But the difference between tomcat8 and TomEE is I can now run it outside of eclipse using startup.bat. I also tried changing the port number,but that didn't work either.

For TomEE first it showed unable to read zip file spring-core-4.0.6.RELEASE-javadoc. Then I replaced all the spring files, now it showing a container failed to start.

Here is my console output:

Can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

The problem was in an app that was running in the server that time. Because of the problematic app the server was not running. After removing the app from the server, the server started running again. So, this is not a problem of the server, but of the app.

Answer 2

It has nothing to do with the server, the problem is your application. The key is the following line of your traces:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name spring-dispatcher

And the reason for that is the following line on your web.xml:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

You don't have a servlet element on your web.xml with the name spring-dispatcher. The only one you have has the name FirstSpringMVCProject. These two values (servlet-name) have to be equal.
