Question

Following errors are arising, while deploying war file in Tomcat Server

I executed the following steps,

1) Downloaded the Apache Tomcat Zip

2) Extracted it to Drive D

3) Added JAVA_HOME,JRE_HOME,CATALINA_HOME environment variables

4) Started the Tomcat Server startup.bat (Server started successfully)

5) Added a war file, which was created from a maven project in eclipse

6) Server started to deploy the war file

7) After Deployment the following errors are arising

Tried to run this from Eclipse- Add server option (creating the same set of errors)

It seems that you've not packaged the commons-logging within your WAR — Svetlin Zarev, Aug 24 '16 at 08:21
You have a title with Tomcat 7, but tagged and by path there is tomcat 5.2.1 — Hrabosch, Aug 24 '16 at 08:28

This is basically a result of version conflict. Please look up whether the JVM of TomCat and that of the WAR are same.
I surmise, your WAR is also missing on the org.apache.commons.logging library.
Consider adding Apache Commons Logging on to your build path.

There is no indication of a java version conflift in above stacktrace. cant hurt to check versions, though. – Gyro Gearless Aug 24 '16 at 08:14
@GyroGearless - He is definitely missing on the `Apache Commons Logging` library. – CodeWalker Aug 24 '16 at 08:15

The error in the stack trace seems to point to a class not found (Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lorg/apache/commons/logging/Log;) . That makes me guess that there is a missing dependency somewhere in the application. Can you try downloading commons-logging and include them as part of packaging , possibly in your war file or include the jars in tomcat to see if the error goes away. You can also see answers on this question for a similar error. Tomcat doesn't start on eclipse

I added the commons-logging jar file in the lib folder of apache tomcat, the exception got removed. But it is throwing serious of exceptions regarding spring framework. http://shrib.com/SpringError the Link for exception trace. – sridhar3525 Aug 24 '16 at 10:01
Please add your spring applicationContext XML for troubleshooting. Chances are your beans are not registered using @Component annotations or the packages are not being scanned like this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11759040/injection-of-autowired-dependencies-failed-nested-exception-is-org-springframew) – Ramachandran.A.G Aug 24 '16 at 10:19
