When i leave out the Kundera dependecy everything works fine. What is causing this?

Answer 1

Fixed! This solved the problem for me:

Make Tomcat Ignore Servlet in WEB-INF/LIB

I changed the Kundera dependecy to:

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.impetus.kundera.client</groupId>
        <artifactId>kundera-cassandra</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
             <exclusion>
                <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
                <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
             </exclusion>
             <exclusion>
                <artifactId>jetty-util</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
             </exclusion>
             <exclusion>
                <artifactId>jetty</artifactId>
                <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
             </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
        <version>2.11</version>
    </dependency>
