My guess is that you have packaged the servlet-api jar in your webapp (in the WEB-INF/lib) folder and this is causing conflicts since the servlet-api will already be present in the container. Make sure you don't include any servlet-api or jsp-api (or Java EE api) jars in your webapp when you deploy it.
