Looks like its all good here.

Answer 1

I met the problem and solve it.It is because the jar version conflicts. The process I met the problem

• 1. I use 4.2.0.release spring at first in pom.xml
  2. but I find it seems wrong
  3. then I change 4.2.0.release to 4.0.2.release
  4. then I change 4.0.2.release to 4.2.0.release, and run on server
  5. i met the problem
  6. At last, I change the vesion, and it runs. So, I am using 4.0.2.release.
