Eclipse – Multiple contexts with the same path error running web service in Eclipse using Tomcat

axiseclipsetomcatweb services

This is the error that I got when I created my first Axis2 web service using Eclipse. After I wrote the class, I created the web service with Apache Axis2. When I click the start server button in eclipse it gives an error message:

Could not publish server configuration for Tomcat v6.0 Server at
localhost.
Multiple contexts have a path of "/FirstApache".

FirstApache is the dynamic web project that I created before. I selected the correct web project from the configuration part in the web service wizard.

How can I fix this?

Search for the server.xml file and check your <Context> tags, probably there are multiple definitions for the same path. Remove the duplicates and it should work for you.

Check out the answer here.

Auto-format the xml file (control + shift + f) since the second <Context> tag may be on the same line, but outside the viewport and really far away from the visible one.

Java – Several ports (8005, 8080, 8009) required by Tomcat Server at localhost are already in use

You've another instance of Tomcat already running. You can confirm this by going to http://localhost:8080 in your webbrowser and check if you get the Tomcat default home page or a Tomcat-specific 404 error page. Both are equally valid evidence that Tomcat runs fine; if it didn't, then you would have gotten a browser specific HTTP connection timeout error message.

You need to shutdown it. Go to /bin subfolder of the Tomcat installation folder and execute the shutdown.bat (Windows) or shutdown.sh (Unix) script. If in vain, close Eclipse and then open the task manager and kill all java and/or javaw processes.

Or if you actually installed it as a Windows service for some reason (this is namely intented for production and is unhelpful when you're just developing), open the services manager (Start > Run > services.msc) and stop the Tomcat service. If necessary, uninstall the Windows service altogether. For development, just the ZIP file is sufficient.

Or if your actual intent is to run two instances of Tomcat simultaneously, then you have to configure the second instance to listen on different ports. Consult the Tomcat documentation for more detail.
