Maven Tomcat plugin - 404 WebServlet not found -

i have webapp maven uses tomcat plugin server. app gets compiled .war which, when extracted, seems contain classes (incl. servlets) in web-inf/classes folder.

when url http://localhost:8080/com.galya.crm gets hit, index.html (which spa app) gets loaded redirecting http://localhost:8080/com.galya.crm/#!/login/msg/notlogged

i have 4 servlets annotated in similar manner:

@webservlet("/restapi/login") public class logincontroller extends httpservlet { 

the problem comes when spa app tries authenticate using login servlet (shown above). expect here: http://localhost:8080/com.galya.crm/restapi/login , 404 error.

below attached tomcat plugin folder automatically created. work directory empty , i'm not sure if it's ok.

initially webapp/web-inf/web.xml auto generated , contained following:

<!doctype web-app public "-//sun microsystems, inc.//dtd web application 2.3//en" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" > <web-app> <display-name>archetype created web application</display-name> </web-app> 

i tried change accept webservlet annotations, didn't work also:

<!doctype web-app public     "-//sun microsystems, inc.//dtd web application 2.3//en"     "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" > <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"      xsi:schemalocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"      version="3.0"> </web-app> 

p.s. app working on server time ago, problem should in server configurations, not in code itself.

surely cause deployment descriptor must declared of version 3.0. web.xml still 2.3.

remove doctype declaration , leave root node did:

<web-app  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"  xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"  xsi:schemalocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0"> 

tested myself, , worked.
