I am currently building a simple login form with Spring MVC.
The stack Trace, I get is
SEVERE: A child container failed during start

I have all the jar needed in my WEB-INF/lib folder and also the relevant jsp's in the WEB-INF/jsp folder
Can anybody please give me a valid reason for the exception?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Tomcat & Eclipse : Can't run the server

I had a working webapp but my project's Maven architecture wasn't correct so I decided to create a new one (I named it asteriskManagerV3).
I copied my code into it and tried to run it with Tomcat but I always get this error :
error when running the server
I tried lot of solutions but none worked.
Here is my web.xml in Tomcat :
...
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MaServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>be.wavenet.MaServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<!-- The mapping for the default servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>MaServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/actions</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
...
web.xml in my project (/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml)

PS : I'm using Tomcat 8.5.28

Apache Tomcat 8 at local host failed to start- eclipse

Implementing first servlet in eclipse:
I have a <servlet-mapping> tag correct in web.xml
I have configured servlet-api.jar
Then I tried to run on server, the server din't start
deleted .snap file from the directory
<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources - starting server -nagative
reconfigured the server configuration - this time, a message showing server started but servlet didn't work with a 404 error
Everytime I test the servlet i had to reconfigure the environment settings.
this time I removed .temp file from this directory
<workspace-directory>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core
Now the server is not starting at all with an error message
Additional information: Screen shorts error message popupconsole 1

Why Tomcat server is not working with the web.xml file as servlet configuration used in a Vaadin 7 application?

I can't start Tomcat when I use web.xml as the configuration file for the servlets in an application, this is the content of the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</web-app>
Why is it not working? Tomcat even doesn't start and instead returns an exception:

If I disable web.xml and I use Servlet's 3.0 API annotations everything works...
What's the problem with the web.xml file?

RESOLVED: This is the crucial line:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The servlets named [AppLifeServlet] and
[com.example.application_lifecycle_chapter_4_7.ApplicationLifecycleUI$Servlet] are both
mapped to the url-pattern [/AppLife/*] which is not permitted
From the Book of Vaadin:
You can use both a web.xml and WebServlet in the same application.
Settings in the web.xml override the ones given in annotations.
This is not true! In my case the error was due this phrase: I had a #WebServlet annotation in my ApplicationLifecycleUI$Servlet together with the servlet mapping inside the web.xml file.
The two configurations can't coexist together, so you must choose whether to use web.xml or #WebServlet annotation for the URL mapping, or you will get this error when you are trying to start Tomcat.

I have found that the comment from #tonix is actually true. The annotations and web.xml cannot coexist. You just have to remove web.xml if you want to keep the annotations.
Moreover, just check all of your url-pattern whether it is in web.xml or it is in annotation, they should be correct and by that I mean generally they should be prefixed by '/' (forward-slash).
After making these changes, try restarting tomcat and it should work, which did in my very much similar case.

Adding a servlet in web.xml

I have a project with servlet called DBServlet placed in package DB. My xml code is below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0">

When I try to run it. Console output this:

I suppose that I'm doing something wrong with adding of servlet to web.xml but in example I use it's like I've posted. Any solutions?

Typo (missing S):
<servlet-name>DB.DBervlet</servlet-name>
as stated in the exception message:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name DB.DBervlet
Change to:
<servlet-name>DB.DBServlet</servlet-name>

You have not put the package name ahead of your servlet name.
<servlet>
<description></description>
<display-name>GetCascadParamServlet</display-name>
<servlet-name>GetCascadParamServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.agileinfotech.bsviewer.servlet.GetCascadParamServlet</servlet-class> // this is package of where my servlet is created.
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GetCascadParamServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/GetCascadParamServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Your servlet name in the mapping is wrong. It should be DB.DBServlet, and you have written DB.DBervlet. What you have specified is missing an "S". Please try that again.
Also,
Please avoid capital letters while naming packages. From your configuration it looks like DB is the package name.
