Tomcat 8.0 Cant connect to server (I will appreciate any helpful tips)

I need your help with connecting to Tomcat server (I'm using Tomcat 8) using Eclipsce.
When I want to connect to server or run example servlet on server, I'm getting errors like these (What is more, I was able to connect with Tomcat Server 9 without any issues. I was looking for solution on stackoverflow, but unfortunatelly nothing has helped me):

Thanks

I guess the error log says it all. You have more than one servlet deployed on tomcat with the same URL pattern mapped in their web.xml [/*]
The servlets named [Project-1] and [com.example.project_1.Project_1UI$Servlet] are both mapped to the url-pattern [/*] which is not permitted at org.apache.catalina.deploy.WebXml.addServletMapping
This is confusing since the container will not know which servlet to invoke whenever you hit the URL localhost:[yourPort]/[AppName-Maybe]/. Try going through the web.xml and fixing this or you can post the same here and get additional help.

Yes as said, that both are mapped to the url-pattern which is not permitted, try to add two url-pattern in the mapping section. You can add same url-pattern if you want or can add two different url-patterns, I had the same problem... like below
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.example.project1.Project1Servlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/Project1Servlet</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/Project1Servlet</url-pattern>
<!-- Adding two url-pattern helped me get through that problem. Try it, this might work for you, also I was using apache tomcat 9.0.55 version -->
</servlet-mapping>

I was facing same issue. I created new workspace and added server in it. It worked for me !!
Please change workspace and try adding server to fresh WS.

This error comes only when i deploy my application via eclipse in tomcat,when i deploy application directly to the tomcat it works fine. I tried removing unwanted dependencies from my class-path still its not working.I searched all over the web but couldn't find any solution.I do have javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar included in my class-path.I tried removing the jar from class-path I got the error in the class where i used classes from this jar.so i can't remove this jar as well.The servlet mapping is correct.Please help.

The servlet mapping seems wrong from the error stack. You should not post this to SO.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid <url-pattern> xmlservletpath in servlet mapping

It looks like there is an error in your web.xml, as suggested by this line of the exception:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid <url-pattern> xmlservletpath in servlet mapping

Your question is very poorly presented. No textual hint as to what you're trying to do, no data on the app you're trying to display, etc.
At any rate, check the web.xml of the app you're trying to deploy. Apparently you have a servlet declared there with an invalid value for the url pattern, as declared by your error message:
"Invalid xmlservletpath in servlet mapping"
