在網上找了很久，最終解決問題，在這時MARK一下。以下是解決方法：
--------------------------------------------------以下文章爲轉載--------------------------------------------------
使用tomcat 7.0.3x版本的同學可以發現tomcat啓動慢了不少，而且還可能遇到如下啓動時異常：
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，比如說支持@WebServlet、@WebListener，要支持這些特性，tomcat就得去掃描所有的jar包裏面的每個類。這個異常表明在掃描jar包的時候，遞歸調用太深，導致棧溢出了，tomcat給了一個餿主意，讓你增大xss，這個還是不好，xss加大了，可用線程數就少了。
分析tomcat源代碼，發現它掃描的流程如下：
1.掃描所有jar包
2.通過查找jar包中META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer文件內的定義，初始化ServletContainerInitializer實現
3.如果web.xml中配置了metadata-complete="true" 或者沒有找到ServletContainerInitializer實現，都不會繼續掃描jar包
網上大多數的答案的都是說在web.xml中加入了metadata-complete="true"就能避免這個異常。確實在很多場景下，這個異常是能夠避免。但是使用spring-web-3.1.0.RELEASE的同學就杯具了，這個jar包中定義了一個ServletContainerInitializer，還是導致了掃描jar包。
我們可以用另外的辦法來解決這個問題，我們讓tomcat不掃描指定的jar包，tomcat就要輕鬆得多了，org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner中定義了defaultJarsToSkip，有了這個東東，我們就可以跳過某些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的值後面加一個",*"，這樣就不會掃描所有的jar包了。啓動更快，也不會出異常。
