Tomcat 8 is not getting started in sts - maven

I have checked out the maven project from svn repository. But now after checking out the project it is showing "Exclamation" mark on it. And if I ever try to start the tomcat server or try to run the project on the server it gives me error. I am using tomcat 8, jdk 8.
I get following error stacktrace:

Catalina error in Tomcat Eclipse with Spring MVC

I was making a basic project in SpringMVC and had done only two things :
1)added details in web.xml as follows :

2)Added simple index.jsp inside WEB-INF folder

Vaadin Servlet conflict from 7.7.1

My project is a spring boot and vaadin project. The spring boot is 1.4.1 with tomcat 8.5.5
It work as well until Vaadin 7.7.0
After I migration Vaadin to any version after 7.7.0 (1,2,3 for now), it fail to start and throw a exception
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;
After researching from Google I found that it is a method from Servlet 3.1. However, a release note in Vaadin 7.7.1 said
#20190 Servlet <=3.0.1 requirement strictness
I read the issue but I cannot found useful information.
Here is the pom file relative to this problem

I found this thread
Grails: Spring Security CAS working in 2.2.3 but not in 2.3.0
and added the lines in my Config.groovy but that did not solve the problem
You have probably null on these properties :
// must be set, e.g. '/login'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.cas.loginUri = null
// must be set, e.g. 'http://localhost:8080/myapp/j_spring_cas_security_check'
grails.plugins.springsecurity.cas.serviceUrl = null
I had the same problem, and I also had set grails.plugins.springsecurity.active = false
For me, the solution was to run
grails clean

See this in stackTrace
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Servlet mapping specifies an unknown servlet name frontcontrol
you have servlet-mapping for frontControl .... but no corrosponding SERVLET tag...
I think This should be correct mapping in your case.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>frontcontrol</servlet-name><!-- Notice this line changed-->
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>frontcontrol</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
