前天还正常的程序，今天忽然无法启动了，MyEclipse的Console提醒我如下错误：

但是Console的报错最容易让人迷惑了，除了java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/PeriodicEventListener一句感觉有实际意义外。
回想程序里有定时任务，但前天还是正常的。网上搜索一下，有的说少包，有的说要删掉Webapp下的程序再重启动Tomcat，前者不靠谱，后者试了无效。
后来想想，估计是昨天导入一些别的包搞得。于是把前天备份解压，再由MyEclipse导入，结果就好了。好在有备份帮忙。
看来修改前备份的习惯一定要保持好，这在关键时刻可以省却很多力气。
