如果是tomcat部署工程后出现该问题，则检查tomcat
\webapps\project_name\WEB-INF\lib
发现下面没有jar，就是因为这个原因导致没有读取到spring jar，导致tomcat运行项目出错。
可以手动copy相应jar到tomcat 下的\webapps\project_name\WEB-INF\lib中，再运行即可解决问题。

解决方法：
This was added byright clicking on the project in Eclipse.
->Properties-> Deployment Assembly -> Add --> and then selected MavenDependencies.
----------------------------------------
对着工程点右键->Properties ->MyEclipse-> Deployment Assembly -> Add--> Folder -->选择 lib --> apply
注意：我的jar都放在工程下的lib文件夹，这样子tomcat运行时就不会报找不到class了
