I'm struggling to deploy a spring application on the tomcat server.

I can't find any clues on the internet since all the forums posts and documentation are quite old.

Note: The same application that runs perfectly on my local machine but I'm unable to deploy it to a server.

The exception log :

  • which version of spring are you using ? Commented Jun 20, 2020 at 15:29

I think you are using Spring 4.

You forgot to add the spring-webmvc jar.

If you are using Eclipse IDE, then follow this :

If it's a maven project, add this dependency in the pom.xml :

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring-webmvc -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version><!-- put the version --></version>
</dependency>

Then, do a mvn clean install to create a fresh .war and deploy it in the tomcat/webapps directory.

If it's a dynamic web project, then download the spring-mvc jar from here according to the version you are using and add that in the project/WEB-INF/lib/

Create a proper .war file and deploy it in the tomcat/webapps directory.

If you are using NetBeans IDE, then follow here.

I'm afraid it didn't worked.. i've already had this dependency, but either way rebuilt and re-deployed and didn't do it. also checked both links provided (thx anyway) and couldn't get any solution.. the only think i've not tried is this link since i'm using Netbeans and this option is not available there
@zamba Bro !! Use eclipse. It's far better.
@zamba Follow this : netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/quickstart-webapps-spring.html
Thanks! After doing a lot of research i've found that wasn't compiling bc of version mismatches in dependencies, now it is successfully running in my localhost and also in the server, but i cannot access it (it shows a 404 error..) i'm still doing research about it, but if you have some clue i'll be thankfull!
i've marked yours as the most accepted one since i valued much your help.. the issue i was having was dependencies compatibility.. after deleting a few dependencies the project was built correctly! thanks!
