I am attempting to run a fresh Java Spring web app building with maven and deploying to Tomcat. I have found extensive questions on SO with similar error messages but no answer has helped. This is for a class assignment, however I can't even start since I haven't been able to boot up my tomcat server. Here is my log:

Shortened error without tomcat vesion in pom.xml:

```
ERROR 15272 --- [cat-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase   : A child container failed during start

```

As you can see, it is failing to start the embedded tomcat component. Here are my relevant files.

My web.xml has the following servlets:

        <servlet-class>
                     com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jersey-servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/store/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

```

Only real change I have made is the class declaration in Application.java

```
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements CommandLineRunner {

```

because that seems to be needed. Although I'm not sure about anything anymore.

I have Tomcat 9.0.12 installed and am using IntelliJ IDE. I have Java V8 Update 161 installed (build 1.8.0\_161). Thank you in advance.
