tomcat启动时检测到循环继承而栈溢出的问题

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to complete the scan for annotations for web application [/test] due to a StackOverflowError. Possible root causes include a too low setting for -Xss and illegal cyclic inheritance dependencies. The class hierarchy being processed was [org.jaxen.util.AncestorAxisIterator-> org.jaxen.util.AncestorOrSelfAxisIterator-> org.jaxen.util.AncestorAxisIterator]      报错信息如上

看到一个大神说的很明白，http://hongjiang.info/tomcat-process-annotations-cyclic-inheritance/。通过升级dom4j到1.6.1解决
