I have created a simple hello world app looking at some simple JAXWS tutorials. But when I try to deploy it on tomcat, I get java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet cannot be cast to javax.servlet.Servlet. I have already added the required libs to tomcat lib folder.
I tried to look into what might be the issue, and got to know that WSServlet does implement from jakarta servlet family hence I have already added jakarta servlet api libs as well in my tomcat lib folder. Still getting the same issue. Can someone please help.
Note:- Project runs perfectly on tomcat 6.0.x version but gives this error on 8.5.x version.
Here's my project structure for ref.
