解决办法： 

       更换tomcat为8.5.20，就OK了。

       但是为啥tomcat7.0就不行呢。网上找办法，果真有：

    {tomcat路径}/conf/web.xml 修改方法:

    <web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" metadata-complete="true">

        metadata-complete="true" 这句话的意思是设置tomcat启动后不要自动扫描注解和网络碎片。

总结：

        好记性不如烂笔头。
