When running my WebApp project from Eclipse most of times it run correctly. But if by mistake to stop server, I kill it in \"Console\" view on instead of \"Stop\" Server from \"
I have the exact same problem and exact exception, but I solved the problem just by specify package type of POM to war like "war" and right click the project and select 'Maven > Update Project Configuration', then re-deploy that web module to tomcat server, that's it!
