------解决方法--------------------------------------------------------
这个问题的解决方法是:

把文件commons-logging.jar 从1.1 版本替换到1.0.4版本.

具体见 http://blog.tremend.ro/2007/05/09/error-reading-tld-listeners-javalangnullpointerexception/

在处理这些的时候，一定要记住先查看你的应用软件是否异常另了，如果你的软件坏了，也有可能出现这种错误。我有一次就是因为Myeclipse错误，怎么都编译不过。后来重装了软件后，就行了。
