在网上找了很久，最终解决问题，在这时MARK一下。以下是解决方法：

--------------------------------------------------以下文章为转载--------------------------------------------------

使用tomcat 7.0.3x版本的同学可以发现tomcat启动慢了不少，而且还可能遇到如下启动时异常：

Unable to complete the scan for annotations for web application [] due to a StackOverflowError. Possible root causes include a too low setting for -Xss and illegal cyclic inheritance dependencies.

tomcat7.0.3X版本支持servlet3.0的特性，比如说支持@WebServlet、@WebListener，要支持这些特 性，tomcat就得去扫描所有的jar包里面的每个类。这个异常表明在扫描jar包的时候，递归调用太深，导致栈溢出了，tomcat给了一个馊主意， 让你增大xss，这个还是不好，xss加大了，可用线程数就少了。

分析tomcat源代码，发现它扫描的流程如下：

1.扫描所有jar包

2.通过查找jar包中META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer文件内的定义，初始化ServletContainerInitializer实现

3.如果web.xml中配置了metadata-complete="true" 或者没有找到ServletContainerInitializer实现，都不会继续扫描jar包

网上大多数的答案的都是说在web.xml中加入了metadata-complete="true"就能避免这个异常。确实在很多场景下，这个 异常是能够避免。但是使用spring-web-3.1.0.RELEASE的同学就杯具了，这个jar包中定义了一个 ServletContainerInitializer，还是导致了扫描jar包。

我们可以用另外的办法来解决这个问题，我们让tomcat不扫描指定的jar包，tomcat就要轻松得多 了，org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner中定义了defaultJarsToSkip，有了 这个东东，我们就可以跳过某些jar包。

如果你不想使用servlet3.0 annotation支持，在tomcat的catalina.properties配置文件中 tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSkip的值后面加一个",*"，这样就不会扫描所有的jar包 了。启动更快，也不会出异常。


tomcat在处理扫描是还有个小bug，比如我遇到了

SEVERE: Unable to process Jar entry [__MACOSX/cn/****/._HandlerFactory.class] from...

这是tomcat在扫描到以.class为后缀的文件后，就分析类，很明显，此文件都不是java类文件。tomcat不应该只判断后缀为.class就是java类文件。
