I have a spring boot application that works fine when I run it using the embedded server from Intellj. However, when I package it into .war file and deploy it on tomcat I get the following error:

    org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/file-upload-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT]]

My project does not contain multiple web-fragment so I don't know what could be causing this problem.

add <absolute-ordering /> tag to your web.xml just under the <display-name> tag. should work.
