异常信息ASM ClassReader failed to parse class file的问题解决

引言：  在基于Spring开发中碰到了一个异常，并解决之。

1.  环境信息：

   Spring 3.2.6,  JDK 1.8,Mybatis 3.2.4

2.  运行简单的程序，出现以下错误信息：

DEBUG - Resolved location pattern [classpath*:com/freemarker/**/*.class] to resources [file [D:GeneralStudies.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.wst.server.core	mp2wtpwebappsfreemarkerTestWEB-INFclassescomfreemarkercontrollerUserController.class], file [D:GeneralStudies.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.wst.server.core	mp2wtpwebappsfreemarkerTestWEB-INFclassescomfreemarkerdomainUser.class], file [D:GeneralStudies.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.wst.server.core	mp2wtpwebappsfreemarkerTestWEB-INFclassescomfreemarkermapperUserMapper.class], file [D:GeneralStudies.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.wst.server.core	mp2wtpwebappsfreemarkerTestWEB-INFclassescomfreemarkerserviceimplUserServiceImpl.class], file [D:GeneralStudies.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.wst.server.core	mp2wtpwebappsfreemarkerTestWEB-INFclassescomfreemarkerserviceUserService.class]]

3. 问题分析

  "ASM ClassReader failed to parse class file"是其中主要的原因。检查Maven的类库，没有发现问题，无asm显性依赖，其依赖产生于spring本身。故分析有可能是spring本身的问题造成了；但是这么流行的spring，怎么会出错了，我不能这么牛x碰到这么简单的问题吧？

   难道是版本？除了版本之外，spring无大区别。经过一般搜索，网上还真有类似的问题：

　

Note that the Java 8 bytecode level (-target 1.8, as required by -source 1.8) is only fully supported as of Spring Framework 4.0.   
In particular, Spring 3.2 based applications need to be compiled with a maximum of Java 7 as the target,   
even if they happen to be deployed onto a Java 8 runtime. <span style="font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#222222;font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.5px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke- 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 249, 227);">Please upgrade to Spring 4 for Java 8 based applications.</span>  

所以，看明白了吧，方案有两条：

   a.  使用jdk7   

   b.  升级spring 4

4.  问题解决

   最终选择了使用jdk7 ， 然后问题解决。
