I'm following a tutorial about servlets in. java and I get the an error while implementing a ServletContextListener. I'm using Netbeans with jdk 12 and tomcat-9.0.22 on Mac OS X 10.14.
I have tried using different version of the jdk and tomcat with no success.
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebListener;
@WebListener
public class Listener implements ServletContextListener{
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
System.out.println("ServletContextListener destroyed");
}
//Run this before web application is started
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent arg0) {
System.out.println("ServletContextListener started");
}
}
When I try to run the code I get the following error.
