Context namespace element 'component-scan' and its parser class are only available on ....

之前启动tomcat 7闪退，发现JDK没有配置好，重新装了jdk1.8。结果再打开项目的时候报错如下：

严重: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Unexpected exception parsing XML document from class path resource [applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Context namespace element 'component-scan' and its parser class [org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser] are only available on JDK 1.5 and higher

查了下资料，说是因为Spring 2.5不会在比1.7版本更高的Java JDK上运行.对于Java 8及以上的版本，代码会默认在JDK 1.4 的版本上运行，所以会注解会抱怨？

解决方法：
①升级Spring 版本，说是Spring 大于等于3.2.3的版本才可以支持Java 8
②用JDK 1.7

我用第二种方法解决了问题。
