getting a “Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet” when starting springboot project from intellij

Question

I created a simple springboot project from Spring Initializr. when starting springboot project from intellij, I am getting below exception but when running from terminal using maven I don't get any exception(mvn spring-boot:run).I tried solving this by adding below to my pom.xml, but after I was getting some other exceptions and solve that I get some more exception. Please tell anyone of you were able to solve this.

Thank you

Springboot project runs fine when running from terminal using command mvn spring-boot:run

Running from Intellij is when I was getting an exception. I changed the spring-boot-starter-tomcat in pom.xml to an older version and it runs without any exception. I think the issue was with compatibly for latest maven embed tomcat 1.2.5.RELEASE.

Now I am using below in my pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

I am using below in my pom.xml,nonuse provided

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        <!--<scope>provided</scope>-->
    </dependency>

Answer 3

Problem is missing tomcat jars because of dependency scope is provided.

Dependency Scope

provided : This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime.

compile : This is the default scope, used if none is specified. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths of a project. Furthermore, those dependencies are propagated to dependent projects.

If you will use embedded tomcat to run spring-boot-starter-tomcat and tomcat-embed-jasper these artifacts dependency scope should be compile which is default. Just use them like below.

        <!-- Need this to compile JSP -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
            <artifactId>tomcat-embed-jasper</artifactId>
        </dependency>

         <!-- Tomcat embedded container-->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </dependency>

After mvn clean install and mvn package try to run your project inside Idea.

For traditional deployment approach(deploy boot project to external tomcat) please check below links to not have problem in deployment step.

在项目的类路径中添加服务器库。

Answer 5

Based on the error message, it looks like you don't have your classes in packages. For component scan and auto configuration to work you need to have packages. Try moving you classes out of default and into packages with you main class at the root of your package. The main must be at the root because component scan only scans in and down the package hierarchy not up.
