Was it helpful?

Solution

I've set providedCompile 'javax.servlet:javax.servlet-api:3.1.0' instead of compile for servlet API and it's solved my problem

OTHER TIPS

Had the same problem and solved it by adding <scope>provided</scope> to my pom.xml: 

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
