Hey all,

I have this Dynamic Webpage Project which I have converted to a Maven project.
It was set to use the Tomcat 7 server which I have installed locally.

All worked fine until, without changing anything other than a jsp file, I got the following message when trying to run the file.
"Server Error"

The selection cannot be run on any server.

I didn't change anything to the server nor the configurations between the time when it worked and when it gave this error.

I have tried the following already, without avail:

Restarting Eclipse
Removed and re-added the tomcat server
Checked if the correct project facets were still selected (they are)
Check whether tomcat 7 starts without errors (it does)
Check if the maven build completes without errors (it does)
Re-installed and re-added the tomcat server
Re-installed Eclipse
Blame windows

I haven encountered this problem before, but then eventually I abandoned the project and started a new one recycling as many files as possible.
Hence I would really like to figure out what is causing this.

I'm using Eclipse Kepler for Java EE Development
And I probably should mention that my project is set up to work with the Hibernate JPA.

Many thanks in advance,
