BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from URL

The API works fine when I am running it from Intellij IDE using the same Tomcat 8.5 files. However when I deploy the war to the server I get the following error.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from URL [file:/C:/Users/Bob/Documents/Tomcat%208.5/webapps/database_war%20exploded/WEB-INF/cxf-servlet.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.FatalBeanException: Invalid NamespaceHandler class [org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.spring.NamespaceHandler] for namespace [http://cxf.apache.org/jaxrs]: problem with handler class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have spent days googling the error in various ways however I have not had any luck resolving it.

In java 11 JAXB APIs are completely removed from the JDK. So backing to JDK 8 will solve your issue.
There is a clean solution for JDKs >= 9 which suggested here : https://stackoverflow.com/a/52872160/4431053

Add below dependency in pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

Why tomcat is not running the Spring MVC web application?

I get started with a simple web application using the Spring framework and when I trying to run in the IntelliJ, the BUILD is successfull but the app is not getting started, like you see the red lines tell you usually. I get the message provided below:
I have the following web.xml file,
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml file is as following:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="

<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
</beans>
And, here is my project structure:
This is the code for the test controller:
package rest.mvc;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
/**
* Created by Chaklader on 9/23/16.
*/
#Controller
public class TestController {
#RequestMapping("/test")
public String test(){
return "view";
}
}
What is the issue here and how to solve it?

JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP - Tomcat 8 plus Spring MVC

I followed successfully the excellent tutorial from Oracle showing how to create an embedded tomcat application which I could start via java -jar \targeg\"myExecutableJar". In such tutorial there isn't Spring at all. (Oracle Tutorial
Then I edited the index.jsp as showed bellow. Obviously, I added in pom.xml all Spring lib necessary.
After this, I am getting the error from my question subject. I have read several question with similar point none of them fixed my issue. FOr instance, in certain question someone told to check ecj so I added it in pom. Other answer recommend to use the most recent Tomcat available. I did it.
It seems to me that there might exist some conflict probably between some embedded tomcat lib and other one but I can't imagine which one.
Other possibility might be related to some issue with the spring context especially because it is an embedded tomcat but I can't guess anything else to try.
Am I missing any extra configuration? Kindly, note in the image below that I leave the context.xml under META-INF exactly as automatically generated and I place all the beans definition in App-servlet.xml.

************ Added

This might be due to the servlet.jar jar conflict. Tomcat already comes in with the servlet api library. Try to add the <scope>provided</provide> for the servlet dependency in your pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
This dependency is already provided by your container(ie. Tomcat) so you don't have to include this in your deployed application again.
Other things you can try:
Try Project -> Clean and re-run the project
You should require at least JSP 2.1 and mark it as provided in your POM
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
One possible cause is if a temp file cannot be written to the current directory.
And this article specific for 1.8 version of JDK.
In Tomcat 8, Jasper initialization is implemented as a standard
ServletContainderInitializer (check Servlet specification).
So you should ensure
that org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperInitializer.onStartup is invoked
during web app startup. Source
Setting the context with, context.addServletContainerInitializer(new JasperInitializer(), null);

Restful Service Returning 406

I checked the headers and made sure I had Accept:application/json
I'm not sure why Spring is still reporting a 406, I can consume MVC controllers fine.
I looked and made sure I had all the right includes in Maven, so that shouldn't be the issue. I'm running Tomcat 8, and Java 8.
Any help would be appreciated!

value from properties file is returning null

I have a variable being set in an external .properties file, but when I try to call the value, it keeps returning null. We have another project that is importing an external .properties file that works just fine, but even using that as a model I can't figure out why this one isn't working. relevent files below.
Specifically what is returning NULL is PropertiesUtil.getProperty("property.file.variable");

Found the solution. Turns out my web.xml setup was wrong. I had already tried the correct syntax, but a bad configuration of my tomcat server caused an error (NoClassDefFoundError: javax.servlet.ServletException) which deploying the project on a different server instance seemed to fix. The correct configuration is below:
Add to web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
