Consider:

web.xml is missing and

Answer 1

I had the same problem, even though I had 'src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/' folder with correct web.xml.

The problem disappeared after I recreated (maven->eclipse) configuration with Maven build.. I executed mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

And then I used Maven -> Update Project to add (eclipse->maven) plugin specific options.
