It looks like you've got a copy of servlet-api.jar inside one of your web applications.
You shouldn't do that.
Tomcat has it's own copy of this jar file that is shared with all the web applications running under it.
Thank you.
Actually this message is not a problem. It was coming even when Tomcat was starting correctly. Now the problem is that tomcat hangs at this point. It does not move forward.
I removed the jar file from WEB-INF/lib. Now this is what comes in the logs. Server is getting hanged at this point
