web

I am encountering a lifecycle exception problem while trying to deploy my web application on Tomcat Catalina. My web application was working without any issue before I upgraded to Catalina. I am using Eclipse, with Tomcat v9.0 server. The issue arises when I try to add a new servlet to my web application by adding a new .java file in my source folder.
Here is the code for my new servlet file named ‘MyServlet.java’:

package com.example.myapp.servlets;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("

");
}
}

After adding this new servlet, when I try to deploy my application on the server, I get the following lifecycle exception:

SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal ContainerBase.addChild: start:
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [Tomcat].[localhost].[/myapp].[com.example.myapp.servlets.MyServlet]
