How Can I solve those error?



Solution 1:[1]

In my scenario, I am using @WebServlet Annotation and same url pattern mapping for two different servlet, after changing the url pattern in one of the servlet, Tomcat successfully started for me :-)

Solution 2:[2]

I have followed java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The servlets named [X] and [Y] are both mapped to the url-pattern [/url] which is not permitted this and it works!!!!!!!!

It seems that you have mixed @WebServlet annotation based and web.xml based configuration.

I doubt that you created a Servlet using the "Create Servlet" wizard which creates web.xml entry with url-pattern and then , added a @WebServlet annotation which duplicates anything you may put in the web.xml.

You should use the one or the other, not both. Remove the mapping from web.xml and go ahead with using only the @WebServlet annotation.

Solution 3:[3]

Step 1) Delete the server.

Step 2) Click on window and then select preferences.

Step 3) Select server & then select Runtime Environments.

Step 4) Select & remove the runtime environment. Example : Apache Tomcat v9.0

Step 5) Again select & add runtime environment. Example : Apache Tomcat v9.0

Step 6) Select Tomcat Installation directory : which is parent directory of bin folder.

Step 7) Click finish and then click apply & close button to add runtime environment successfully.

Step 8) Click on window & then show view and select server.

Step 9) Click the link to create a new server, select the server and click finish.

Step 10) Right click and start the server.

Step 11) If any problem then change the ports, right click & open.

Step 12) Change the Tomcat admin port to 8080 or any four digit number, & similarly change port for HTTP/1.1 to 8000 or any four digit number.

Step 13) Save the port changes.

Step 14) Run the server, the problem is solved.

Solution 4:[4]

It has worked after when I have removed @WebServlet annotation from my Myservlet.java.But I can't understand why it didn't work with @WebServlet
