产生原因：tomcat的jar包和maven中的依赖jar包冲突，去掉maven中的jar包或者改maven的依赖文件scope属性，例如我们有时候必须使用servlet-api.jar那么我们可以在maven中配置如下格式解决问题。
<dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.5</version>
            <scope>provided</scope> 
        </dependency>
