The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists

Question

web.xml

Answer 1

The website was running fine then suddenly it started to display this same error 404 message (The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists), Perhaps because of switching servers back and forward from Tomcat 9 to 8 and 7

In my case, i only had to update the project which was causing this error then restart the specific tomcat version. You may also need to Maven Clean and Maven Install after the "Maven Update Project"
