The development team is using Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu server. I downloaded that Tomcat from the server and deployed locally and it works okay.
Now, I developed a spring-boot module, wrapped it into WAR file and wanted to deploy it in the same Tomcat. However, catalina.bat run fails to start my spring-boot application. The original application (called ROOT) is working fine.

When I http://localhost:8080/demo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT, I'm getting 404 error.
There might be some issues in the tomcat configuraions, since I'm using the tomcat directory downloaded from the server, not the default (clean) one from the Internet, but I'm not sure where to look at and what to change.
NOTE: I know that by default after catalina.bat run and localhost:8080 , the default welcome page of Tomcat needs to popup, but in my case, I'm getting the welcome page of our application (ROOT). Maybe that's the case, I don't know.
CodePudding user response：
Deploy to Tomcat 8 or later
Your error says the interface HttpSessionIdListener cannot be found.
Looking at the Javadoc for that interface tells us it was added in Servlet 3.1 specification.
Now look at the Which version? page on the Tomcat site. There we see that Tomcat 7 supports Servlet 3.0. For Servlet 3.1, you need Tomcat 8 or later.
Be aware that Tomcat 8.0.x has been superseded by Tomcat 8.5.x.
