deployed but context failed to start with tomcat 8

Question

Issue is when I using any filter or listener in my web xml, the following error will be displayed.

and my web.xml

Here is my config code:

<dependency> 
    <groupId>log4j</groupId> 
    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.16</version>
</dependency>
<dependency> 
     <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
     <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
     <version>1.7.1</version>
</dependency> 
<dependency> 
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> 
    <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.1</version>
</dependency>

what can I do for this to be fixed?

Answer 1

This application previously was with tomcat7 plugin (tomcat7-maven-plugin) that will be used.The Tomcat7 plugin will download the Tomcat7 to the my machine, and once the Maven generate the war artifact, will deploy it to a Tomcat7 instance started by the plugin itself.

my configurations before

<configuration>
          <port>8080</port>
          <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
          <additionalConfigFilesDir>${basedir}/src/main/tomcat/conf</additionalConfigFilesDir>
          <systemProperties>
              <log4j.configuration>file:./src/main/tomcat/conf/log4j.xml</log4j.configuration>
          </systemProperties>
</configuration>
     <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
                    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
                    <version>1.2.16</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
                    <version>1.7.1</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
                    <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
                    <version>1.7.1</version>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
                    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
                    <version>5.1.14</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>

and later I changed it to this

 <configuration>
              <url>http://localhost:8099/manager/text</url>
              <server>TomcatServer</server>
              <path>/${project.build.finalName}</path>
              <additionalConfigFilesDir>${basedir}/src/main/tomcat/conf</additionalConfigFilesDir>
              <systemProperties>
                  <log4j.configuration>file:./src/main/tomcat/conf/log4j.xml</log4j.configuration>
              </systemProperties>
    </configuration>

so after those changes, the library scopes previously I had(provided) should be changed accordingly in pom.xml.After made that changes context started successfully.
