原因就是引入的第三方库依赖了 servlet-api， 在Dependencies中打开依赖的树形结构，找到servlet-api包， 看看是你引入的哪个库引入了servlet-api，然后排除这个包即可。我这里是spring-data-hadoop-hbase引入了servlet-api包，排除方法如下：

        
            org.springframework.data
            spring-data-hadoop-hbase
            2.4.0.RELEASE
            
                
                    log4j
                    log4j
                
                
                    org.slf4j
                    slf4j-log4j12
                
                
                    javax.servlet
                    servlet-api
                
            
        

即可启动成功。
