Answer 1

I have solved the problem by doing the following,

Actually i got this error, my scenario was..

I was using the APACHE TOMCAT SERVER VERSION 8.0, but the project i downloaded was using APACHE TOMCAT VERSION 7.0 it seems, so i changed it to version 8.

How was did was:

1. right Click on the Project properties.
2. In the Left menu, we can see the Java Build Path
3. Select the Library tab, and add the new Library.
4. In the Library Type, select the Server Run time, then click next and Finish will solve the problem.

All the Best
