I'm experiencing a strange issue with Intellij when trying to deploy a web to localhost.
Various searching has inferred that the problem is due to an inconsistency with java versions but I can't see how that is the case.
I have a working site, siteA. The broken site, siteB is 'almost' a carbon copy of siteA especially when it comes to spring configuration and so on. The reason for this really is that I'm not great at configuring and prefer to work on the 'fun' stuff. This seems to be my downfall.
However, I've gone so far as to compare the deployment options with both projects, they're identical, as are the poms / versions / xml etc etc. name have been changed to reflect the different projects but ultimately they're using the same setup.
I then exported all intelliJ settings from siteA and imported those settings into siteB - still the same error.
Can someone shed any light please?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I've added provided to the pom for servlet-api so that error message is no longer present. The error:
