这个最开始看到

Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: A child container failed during start

这句，以为是有一个Tomcat开着有影响呢，结果把别的停了之后，发现还是没有解决，又仔细看了异常信息，什么child container，我也没启动什么子容器啊！往上看才发现了真正的问题

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid <url-pattern> /*.html in servlet mapping
	at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.addServletMapping(StandardContext.java:3245)

url-pattern写错了？还真是，写成了"/* .html"应该是要用"*.html"的。

url-pattern匹配时会先使用精确映射，最长路径映射，扩展映射，都找不到会调用默认的默认的servlet映射，它们的形式分别为：

精准映射：写全映射的路径，如"/a/b/c.action"这样的
路径映射：以”/’开头和以"/* “结尾
扩展映射：以”.“开头的，如”.action"、"*.do"等，分别是使用了action和do扩展作为映射条件
默认servlet映射：使用"/"进行映射，这种会映射所有的url

所以像"/*.do"这样就既不是默认的servlet映射，也不是路径映射，也不是扩展映射（也可以说既属于路径映射也属于扩展映射），就自然会报错啦！

还有一个需要注意的地方，就是"/"和“/*”的区别：
“/“是后面要跟路径，但是不带有扩展名的路径，如“/abc”可以通过,但”/abc.jsp”、“/abc.do”这样的是不会通过的
"/ *“则是一种路径映射，代表了路径下的所有文件都可以使用，所有“/abc.jsp”、”/abc.js"这样的都是可以被访问的！
