I've confirmed that the offending jar, javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5, IS included in the war file. I've also seen that it should be excluded as your build.gradle file has

       provided "javax.servlet:servlet-api:2.5"

not sure why it's getting included, but it won't run in tomcat 7.

mcacker,

After removing this, does it work for you? Please go ahead to submit a Pull Request for this fix if you are confirmed. Thanks.

After the servle-api.jar file is removed from the war file, it will run under tomcat7, however, I was only able to remove the file manually, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the gradle build. It's declared as a provided dependency, and should not be included, but it is.

Hi,

To see how Gradle resolves the dependencies, please run gradle's dependencyInsight on the aforementioned resource.

Thanks

If another dependency has put it on compile or runtime it might go into the
war.
