I go through Stackoverflow question related to same exception, But I see the exception is same, but StackTrace is different, So i failed to sort this issue.
Could anyone help me for this

I was facing this issue, it would load on my local but not on CentOs. I deleted catalina.out and then re-deployed my project and it got loaded fine.

using DELETE method in rest webservice, _method hidden field workaround for jersey maven project

I am trying to create a jsp page as a client for a rest service, which i know is fully working as I have tested with JUnit.
I know html or the browsers will not support a PUT/DELETE method the way they do a GET/POST, but i have read of a work around like this one https://raymondhlee.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/spring3-mvc-rest/ which for some reason will not work for me. I have exhausted a lot of options and read a lot on here but can not get this to work for me at all.
Here is some of the relevant code
first of all this in my web.xml, when i place this in code in the web.xml i get a 404 error with description The requested resource is not available.

Here is the section of the pom.xml file

I had also tried

<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>

Here is the console log

you have a bean validation implementation of the specification 1.1 but tomee 1 only supports bean validation 1.0 by default. Migrating to tomee 7 is surely the easiest to solve it without playing with classloading configuration.

Maybe you can try other environment, i can show mine:
Windows 10 64bit
apache-tomcat-8.5.20
activiti-6.0.0
Then i just put the wars into webapp, and start the tomcat, use the H2 database by default.
Webapp locations after start

Tomcat 6.0 and 7.0 failed to start on Eclipse Luna

Everything was working normally I had two Apache (6 and 7) servers on Eclipse, but after I import one application to different workspace I couldn't start Apache server.
I have removed that app from workspace, hoping for reverse process, but still the same, also nothing changes if i go to new workspace.

seems your error is caused by this
INFO: validateJarFile(C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 7.0.34\wtpwebapps\demoapp_struts\WEB-INF\lib\javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
you should not add the javax.servlet.jar in your lib folder because as far as i know, the jar should be provided by the container (in your case, apache tomcat.)
Also, you may need to check your apache tomcat lib folder for servlet-api.jar
