The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists

Question

web.xml

Answer 1

The website was running fine then suddenly it started to display this same error 404 message (The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists), Perhaps because of switching servers back and forward from Tomcat 9 to 8 and 7

In my case, i only had to update the project which was causing this error then restart the specific tomcat version. You may also need to Maven Clean and Maven Install after the "Maven Update Project"

After performing the above steps, try to run your project.Your problem should be solved now.

I just solved this problem within my project. Turned out my connection string had a typo and differed from the valid database auth. credentials. Dumb mistake on my part, hopefully somebody else saves time by reading this.
