SEVERE: Error filterStart
Aug 20, 2014 7:50:01 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/StrutsDemo] startup failed due to previous errors
And Even simple staruts-blank.war is also not working in eclipse which gives the same error,but it is also working fine when manually deploying to tomcat.I am using java7.So can any one please guide me how to solve this?thanks in advnace

It seems that your tomcat has a SecurityManager activated and struts2 requiere several privileges to work.
Either you can disable that SecurityManager (It is a VM arg) or configure the catalina.policy file to grant permissions to yout WebApp. i.e.
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/<your-webapp>/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

firstly check web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
check all Jar and mind well not repeat jar in a lib folder.
u get list of all jar file to use run struts project easily.

running spring simple example

I am trying to done that tutorial http://blog.springsource.com/2011/01/04/green-beans-getting-started-with-spring-mvc/ but I am stuck just before moment when Hello world should appear into my browser...
In pom.xml I get: <finalName>ex1</finalName> so I am going to http://localhost:8080/ex1/ and get: HTTP Status 404 - Servlet appServlet is not available. My package where I keep controller has a little different name than in article, but maven build .war successfully.
I am also probably have some issues with jstl so I added to my pom file also:
<dependency>
<groupId>jstl</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
</dependency>
but that also didnt help. Another thing what I tried was follow these instruction: Eclipse "cannot find the tag library descriptor" for custom tags (not JSTL!) , also without success.
I am using tomcat 6 # ubuntu.
If anyone could heelp me, I would be very thankful.
EDIT:
This is what logs from today tomcat6 looks like:
INFO: Deploying web application archive ex1.war 2011-08-29 17:13:50

EDIT:
After rebooting tomcat6 there appears some errors:

Add this line
<display-name>ex1</display-name>
to web.xml
EDIT:
After addition exception trace:
Check class name of ServletDispatcher and check sprinmwc dependency in pom.xml

can you try adding the following to your pom.xml and accessing
http://localhost:8080/ex1
<build>
<finalName>ex1</finalName>
</build>

You are getting a class not found exception. Do you have Spring-WebMVC jar file in your classpath? Check your maven dependencies.
