I created a dynamic web project in eclipse Luna and then converted the same to maven project. I specified dependencies as follows:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>
<artifactId>postgresql</artifactId>
<version>9.3-1102-jdbc41</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
and also updated tomcat7 plugin as
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<configuration>
<port>8080</port>
<path>/</path>
</configuration>
</plugin>
but after mvn clean install
followed by mvn tomcat7:run
I got the following error:
SEVERE: Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /home/dheerendra/workspace/myproject/src/main/webapp does not exist or is not a readable directory

SEVERE: Context [] startup failed due to previous errors
I know there is no directory as src/main/webapp
as it is not classical maven webapp. How can I avoid this error and start my tomcat7 normally as usual?

Moving META-INF
and WEB-INF
into src/main/webapp
resolved this issue.

In case you are not using the standard webapp folder, instruct the plugin to use the directory where your web resources are located.Something like the below should fix it.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<configuration>
<port>8080</port>
<path>/</path>
<warSourceDirectory>src/mywebappfolder</warSourceDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Refer : http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0/tomcat7-maven-plugin/run-mojo.html
