I experienced this problem just now. if your are on windows machine make sure that you added CATALINA_HOME environment variable pointing to your <tomcatdirectory>\bin.
Error says
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException It seems either some lib files are missing
OR
Servlet class path is entered wrong
For Java-EE project converted to Maven project with jstl dependency in pom.xml
- right click the project in question
- open Properties
- click on Deployment Assembly
- click Add
- select Java Build Path Entries
- select Maven dependencies
