[Exception]spring-boot Failed to start component [StandardServer[-1]]

在使用spring-boot时，使用了其他的模块，导致spring-boot启动总是失败。

错误堆栈：

具体的错误原因可能堆栈中并没有显示，只是提示tomcat组件启动失败，这个时候就需要调试进入源码去分析，如我的是：

javax.servlet.ServletContext.addServlet(Ljava/lang/String;Ljavax/servlet/Servlet;)Ljavax/servlet/ServletRegistration$Dynamic;

经过分析原来是接口addServlet(String, Servlet)不存在，在仔细分析发现加载的是 servlet-api-2.5.jar, 而spring-boot-starter-tomcat才是正确的，然后找到依赖servlet-api.jar的组件，然后排除掉就行， 如maven:

<exclusion>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
