How to deploy Maven project on tomcat in eclipse SEVERE: child container failed while java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException was launched

Question

I am having trouble getting the maven project that I pulled from the svn repository for deployment on the Tomcat server in eclipse. I am new to the whole process and trying to get it to work all day. I am not sure what the problem is at the moment, and any direction will be greatly appreciated! Here is the console output from the server.

Note. This project works on another team computer, and I removed the latest version, I thought that it could be an incorrect configuration on my side of either tomcat or eclipse.

EDIT:

SOLVE:

This may or may not be useful to others, but keep in mind that I'm new to Maven, it turns out that I missed Maven Dependencies in the Deployment Assembly.

This was added by right-clicking on a project in Eclipse.

-> Properties → Install Deployment → Add →, and then select Maven Dependencies.

Answer 2

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext

Your problem is that the spring JAR file is not in your application class path. Maybe post a pom.xml file so we can merge jar files?

Answer 3

Before worrying about Eclipse integration, I would suggest trying to build a source war using maven. Run

 mvn clean install 

This should give you war in the target folder. Manually expand this and see if it works correctly. Only after that I will worry about using it in Eclipse.

Eclipse uses the new version with the M2Eclipse integration installed and imports the project as a Maven project. This should make you install WTP, and then it should work fine.

If not, let us know. Maybe even share the source of the military project, if it is open source, so that we can see the pom and much more.
