If you tried to convert your simple java project to web project using maven and changing specificications from project facets, you won't get a compile error but when you start deployment you can see this error message.

to solve this think of it. This is a web project and needs to deploy as a war file (or ear).

change packaging spec to war in your pom.xml then compile maven again.
