you guessed wrong.
You're trying to deploy a web application compiled with one version of the JDK to a server running a lower version.

thanks for replying.
i don't get your point.
can you please elaborate further.

Member Avatar for jwenting

no, if you don't understand that nothing I can tell you is going to make you understand.
You'd best just give up and go back to flipping burgers and filling shelves at the supermarket.
