Answer 1

I was getting this error as the jar that has this class was not added to my classpath. Exception was

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate

You need to add the catalina jar file. For that add following in your Maven dependencies -

    org.apache.tomcat
    catalina
    6.0.43

Note artifact name has changed now. Artifact name is tomcat-catalina instead of 'catalina '

    org.apache.tomcat
    tomcat-catalina
    8.0.15

. So use latest version from

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-catalina

than

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/catalina
