The same code does work when I deploy it on heroku though..
I want to test the code on local machine and then it fails to execute.

java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid LOC header means that you have a corrupted ZIP file. Since it was talking about re-extracting your war, it looks like the war file you copied into it had a problem.
On a side note, for new Spring projects, just use Spring Boot--it will handle the container for you and eliminate the war and container configuration entirely.

CDI Beans module deployment failed- LifecycleException on deploying webapp

I'm trying to run a web-app on tomee1.7.1 in eclipse Luna. On adding java source source files, the server fails to start giving the below stacktrace. I'm stuck here for a few days now.
I'm running java 1.8.40. The problem is that I can't relate this stack trace to any of my code.

I think you forgot to add the selenium-server-standalone-version.jar which is why you are getting this error Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Function
Or may be that you dont have the google collection library on your classpath.
Or you can simply try to import:
import com.google.common.base.Function;

Can anybody figure out what's going on ?

Eclipse did something behind my back with jars. I've just removed all jars from /WEB-INF/lib, and typed mvn compile. After that, everything works.

I had same problem...and interestingly there was a small mistake in web.xml file.. You might have done declared OR contained without slash '/', somewhere in any project.. also check out for slash..
