Tomcat7战争文件问题

Question

This may be asked previously but none of them is solving my problem

I have made a servlet and I want to host it in tomcat7. The servlet is running perfectly when I run it in tomcat7 using eclipse (Run on server)

echo $CATALINA_HOME is /usr/share/tomcat7

However the webapp folder is found in /var/lib/tomcat7

I made a war file using eclipse[ file->export->web->war ]

I tried to create the war file using apache ant also but its giving the same error.

In eclipse I provided the tomcat installation directory to be /usr/share/tomcat7 ie $catalina_home

java-version

java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

SOLUTION set tomcat java_home to the the system java-version

Tutorial: Link to set java_home of tomcat7

Answer 1

Actually the main point of your Exception is the java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
This means that at least java 7 has to be used to launch tomcat.

you should check with which jdk you start tomcat.
for sure it is lower as java 7. It is not necessary matching the java -version return
