Answer 1

This is what i have been facing for long time.

This happened last time and figured out that one case could be a bad war deployment, which came after i update library/maven dependencies on pom and re installed it.

SOLUTION:

right click on the server >  remove the war and 
right click on the server again > clean
make sure the maven dependencies are added to deployment assembly
right click on the project > Run As > maven clean
right click on the project again > Run As > maven install 
and finally deploy the project on to the server. This helped me to solve the issue
