1.  环境信息：

Spring 3.2.2,  JDK 1.8, Hibernate 3.5.5

2.  运行简单的程序，出现以下错误信息：

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本身的问题造成的？

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：

1. 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.
2. In particular, Spring 3.2 based applications need to be compiled with a maximum of Java 7 as the target,
3. even if they happen to be deployed onto a Java 8 runtime. Please upgrade to Spring 4 for Java 8 based applications.

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

最终选择了升级Spring4， 然后问题解决。
