Tomcat 7.0 Lifecycle Exception - java

When trying to run my Tomcat server I get a weird exception and a popup that only says that Tomcat failed to start; no details.
I did google the problem a bit and some suggested to do a Project Clean and check that the JRE versions for Eclipse and Tomcat are the same, but none of these steps didn't seem to make any difference.
I'm not sure what else could be causing this. The exception it self is too confusing for me to troubleshoot -- I have no clue what all this means.
Any other suggestions than Project Clean and JRE check?

Java VM could not find the class org.json.JSONException:
This is typically due to your code imports that class but it's nowhere to be found on the classpath.
If you use dependency management tool such as maven you can simply find which jar contains that class and add it, otherwise you can typically resolve this by adding the jar into your WEB-INF/libs or other path included in the classpath

tomcat lib consists tomcat-utils.jar i tried multiple ways even including catalina*.jar in class path but its not working.even the server wont start if i deploy it.

You have definitely broken something in your Tomcat installation. Remove your CATALINA_HOME and reinstall Tomcat into it. Do not drop any other JAR files into CATALINA_HOME/lib that you have from your old installation of Tomcat.

am learning to do restful web services while implementing i got following error help me to resolve

Screenshot of the configuration file web.xml:

This exception is seen when the JRE version of Eclipse and Tomcat are not compatible.
Solution- Either change Eclipse one as that of Tomcat or vice-versa.
You can check for JAVA_HOME by looking at tomcat startup.bat file.

It looks to me like you're missing one or more the Spring Framework jars from your web application. If you look at the stack trace there's a line:
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/core/NestedRuntimeException
I'd say you don't have the "spring-core" jar in your web application. You need the Spring jars in your web app's WEB-INF/lib directory. Most Spring-based web applications need at least "spring-beans", "spring-context", "spring-core" "spring-io" and "spring-web" .. perhaps more, I'm working from memory here.

UnsupportedClassVersionError means that you have some code compiled with a newer JDK, but are running on an older JRE. In your case, version 51.0 refers to Java7 (which some library that you're using has been compiled with - in your case it seems like the servlet API), and you're running with a previous version, most likely Java6.
Make sure that you're using Java7 and the problem will go away.

This might be caused by incompatible version during compile/run times. (You used a higher one when compiling your classes than one when running them).
So check the used jdk version in compile time and maybe use the same when loading your server.

You have an incompatible class in your lib folder:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: servlets/CheckContacts : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Update you ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc file with correct JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME="/path/to/java/jdk"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java:$PATH"
then build the war file and run the tomcat startup.sh
