Answer 1

1、清空 tomcat的work目录
2、检查 log4j 的配置文件是否存在
3、检查 web。xml 中是否spring 的配置多了什么东东，例如，
如下的代码： <servlet>
   <servlet-name>context</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderServlet</servlet-class>
   <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>4、重新启动 tomcat

Answer 2

我也要同样的问题，结果在一个项目中把web.xml中
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>context</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
删除就没这个错误了
