Spring Boot 1.4 and Apache Axis2 - Tomcat doesn't start by running Jar

Question

I am now using Spring Boot 1.4 and Apache Axis2 in my project. After adding dependencies in pom.xml, the generated jar file can't run. It means the tomcat server doesn't start and

java.util.concurrent.ExeutionException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component 

Answer 1

I could solved the problem by adding exclusions in pom.xml. I think the problem is the embed Tomcat has some problems with javax.servlet-api.

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.axis2</groupId>
            <artifactId>axis2-kernel</artifactId>
            <version>${axis2.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
                    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
</dependency>
