Java Questions


People also ask

Why Apache Tomcat failed to start?

Most of the time, this means that Tomcat is already running in the background and Eclipse is trying to open it again on the same ports. This is obviously not possible, as the ports will be in use. The issue typically arises from either the Eclipse or Tomcat process crash or being stuck.

What is reload in Tomcat?

On an Apache Tomcat server, to "reload" an application means to call a method of the StandardContext class called StandardContext. reload() on a given Context. This method creates a new classloader and new servlets, drops all references to the old servlets, and then calls the Servlet.

Does Eclipse comes with Tomcat?

No, eclipse cannot come with inbuilt tomcat. You have to select the appropriate tomcat version on eclipse and browse the apache tomcat server zip file in order to start it.

The jar file may be corrupt as a result of bad internet connection. Try removing the content of your C:\Users\[username]\.m2\repository folder. Then right click your project, select Maven, Update Project, check on Force Update of Snapshots/Releases. If you are sure only one Jar file has a problem, then you only need to delete its folder.

As newbie has mentioned to clean up local maven repository, you can do it by executing mvn dependency:purge-local-repository, which will delete the jars from local-repo and re-download them.
