Getting NoSuchMethodError:javax.servlet.ServletContext.getVirtualServerName()

Question

I am facing an issue during deployment of a service in Tomcat 8. Getting following error :

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.Ser

Answer 1

In my case, it went away when I declared javax.servlet dependency in gradle with no version. Like this -

compile('javax.servlet:servlet-api')
