When I run the activiti-app demo on tomcat7 or tomcat 9, it failed to be deployed, the log shows below, does any one know why it happen?

I didn't change any thing after downloading from the activiti.org.

[dungdv24]

I have the same question!

[abbask01]

I had the same problem, remove all activiti libraries from tomcat/lib
