If you're using Spring Boot to compile a war, make sure the version matches your Tomcat version.
<properties>
<tomcat.version>8.0.xx</tomcat.version>
</properties>
This has wasted SO MUCH of my time. The problem appeared to be that I was using @Provider and @Component on a REST bean. Remove the @Provider, AND stop Tomcat, remove the expanded directory, restart Tomcat, and deploy again.
Gah. Really annoying error, which wasted lots of my time. Stop Tomcat, remove the expanded webapp directory completely, and start Tomcat.
