无法解析 javax.servlet.ServletContext 和 javax.servlet.ServletException 类型

Question

I'm trying to include Spring Security to my web project, i'm following this tutorial http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/guides/html5//helloworld.html

I've done everything in the tutorial with the given maven project and works fine. But when i'm trying to include it to my project a compilation error appear. Specifically when i extends from AbstractSecurityWebApplicationInitializer appear the given error

Multiple markers at this line

• The type javax.servlet.ServletContext cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
• The type javax.servlet.ServletException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Thanks for the help!

Using mvn clean install -U

Just add the javax.servlet API to the compile time dependencies. You don't need to include it in the build, it's already provided by the target servlet container.

Your current pom suggests that you're deploying to a barebones servlet container ( Tomcat , Jetty , etc) instead of a full fledged Java EE application server ( WildFly , TomEE , GlassFish , Liberty , etc), otherwise you'd have run into classloading-related trouble by providing JSF along with the webapp instead of using the container-provided one.

In that case, adding the below dependency should do for a Servlet 3.1 container like Tomcat 8:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Or if you're actually targeting an older Servlet 3.0 container like Tomcat 7, change the <version> to 3.0.1 (note: there's no 3.0 due to a mistake on their side).

If you happen to actually deploy to a Java EE 7 application server like WildFly 8, use the below dependency instead. It covers the entire Java EE API , including javax.servlet (and javax.faces , so you'd then remove those individual JSF API/impl dependencies):

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>7.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Also here, if you're targeting an older Java EE 6 application server like JBoss AS 7, change the <version> to 6.0 .

这对我有用：如果上面提供的解决方案不起作用项目>属性>Java构建路径>库>从库选项卡添加库>选择服务器运行时>下一步>选择Apache Tomcat v 7.0>完成>确定

另一种方式，如果您在 Eclipse ide 上工作，请打开项目文件夹选择属性并单击 maven 显示视图“Active Maven Profiles（逗号分隔）”请输入“dev”..刷新问题解决后

Answer 4

try setting the updated parent, like this:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.6.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath></relativePath>
</parent>

this solved for me.

对我有帮助的是删除目录 .m2 中的存储库并删除 run maven: package
