but am getting this error concerning the servlet jar:

Best Answer

This has nothing to do with the servlet-api-2.5.jar (note that the message that refers to this file is an INFO message not an error message). If you want to stop that message appearing just delete the file.

The problem starts with this message:

5 mai 2013 14:10:35 org.geoserver.platform.GeoServerExtensions checkContext GRAVE: Extension lookup occured, but ApplicationContext is unset.

You need to figure out what is causing this error message and fix that.
