Tomcat Class unable to load when moving a site from Dev to Test servers
I have a web site I have been developing for a while (other people did the dev so excuse my ignorance of Tomcat / Java)... My dev server is running Tomcat 5.5.31 and JDK 1.6.026 and the database is MS SQL 2008 R2
When I try move this to my test server I get an error about a DBInit class that cannot load (I have pasted the log in full below). The only difference I am aware of is MS SQL is Version 2008 (not R2).
I then tried it on another server with MS SQL 2008 R2 and the same error (unable to load class com.DBInit) occurs.
There must be something one of the developers loaded on the Dev server that was undocumented. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Thanks

Now you are rnunning on the test server which is different form your dev server, correct?
Can't it be that you are running Tomcat say with java 1.5 ?
The error message is telling you that the class DBInit was compiled with Java 7.
You need to compile it with JDK 1.6 since that is what is on your server.

Thanks for the insights. Somehow I have ended up with a mixed version of Java on the Dev server. JAVA_HOME points to the JDK 1.6 installation (java.exe is SE 6.0.260.3), but there is a registry setting referring to 1.7. And when I checked installed programs I see someone installed Java 7. I am going to have to address this with the developers.
Thanks for the help!

This kind of error usuall hints taht certain class
was compiled with Java newer than the virtual machine you want to execute it with:
java.lang.UnsupportedClass
What version of Java are you using on the Test server which runs Tomcat ?
