The server does not support version 3.0 of the J2EE Web module specification - Eclipse

The server does not support version 3.0 of the J2EE Web module specification -  Eclipse

Sometimes we used to receive the following exception when running the web application in latest eclipse version.

The server does not support version 3.0 of the J2EE Web module specification.

The issue is when creating the web project in latest eclipse by default the web version  will be selected as 3.0 but the server what we are having is not supporting the web 3.0.

There is two options to fix this issue.

1. Upgrade your server to latest version
2.Open org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml file from /workspace/<Your project name>/.settings and change jst.web version to 2.5 instead 3.0

<installed facet="jst.web" version="2.5"/>
