java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.Filter

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.Filter:有两个原因：
（1）在maven中的作用域，不能是provided，需要是compile就是默认的scope
（2）spring-boot-starter-tomcat的版本bug，换个新的或旧的版本试试

I Started a new project with Spring Boot 1.2.3. I’m getting error 

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/Filter

Gradle Dependencies: 

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile("org.codehaus.groovy:groovy")
    compile("com.h2database:h2")
    compile("org.thymeleaf.extras:thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity3")

    providedRuntime("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat")
    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")

    compile 'org.webjars:jquery:2.1.4'
    compile 'org.webjars:bootstrap:3.3.4'
}

for the maven users, comment the scope provided in the following dependency: 

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        <!--<scope>provided</scope>-->
    </dependency>


UPDATE

As feed.me mentioned you have to uncomment the provided part depending on what kind of app you are deploying.

Here is a useful link with the details:

t’s important to make this dependency “provided” again before building a war file! Otherwise the war file will crash when it gets deployed (happend to me with tomcat)

Springboot project runs fine when running from terminal using command mvn spring-boot:run

Running from Intellij is when I was getting an exception. I changed the spring-boot-starter-tomcat in pom.xml to an older version and it runs without any exception. I think the issue was with compatibly for latest maven embed tomcat 1.2.5.RELEASE.

Now I am using below in my pom.xml 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId> <version>1.2.4.RELEASE</version> </dependency>
