I am new to learning Java servlets. I received this error message after downloading Tomcat 5.5 and Java jre1.5.
The error message indicates that a bad version number was created in the .class file. The .class file was created after compling a java file that I created from a new book I read. It would seem that I have a old version of java, meaning jre1.5, that is no longer supported. There are newer version of the jre, but I used the one the book instructed, disregarding any possible compatibility issues. From my understanding, the newer version of the jre is 6.0, so 5.0 isn't really that old, like say a jre 4.0. The java file doesn't specify what version of java is to be used.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this problem?
