Problem 1
Whenever I seem to try to get my dynamic web applicaiton running on my debugging server (Apache), I seem to get the error as shown below on eclipse's browser.
Problem 2 (This has been solved by Edit 2)
In my errors tab, I get the errors as shown below:
Edit 2
I have removed the problems that come up in the problem tab by following the advice on this post. Apparently Tomcat does not support Java 1.8 as of yet. However, I still haven't managed to solve problem 1 and problem 3, which are most certainly related.
Problem 3
And finally, my console seems to output this:
INFO: At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them.
Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

All things considered, I have gone through the various answers that this website and the internet seem to offer me, but none of them got this dynamic application to work. I even reinstalled all of Eclipse and the Spring IDE on my computer. All helpo will be majorly appreciated!
Edit 1
Here are all the dependencies that I have added through Maven:
