HTTP 500 error when deploying war file in Apache Tomcat 7.0.25

[Anu Nandan]

I get the below error when deploying my war file in tomcat 7.0.25 in linux.

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.Compiler.<init>(Lorg/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/env/INameEnvironment;Lorg/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/IErrorHandlingPolicy;Lorg/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/impl/CompilerOptions;Lorg/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/ICompilerRequestor;Lorg/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/IProblemFactory;)V

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:722)


This seems to happening only in one system, tested in other 2 systems and they seem to work fine. Not sure if Linux version has anything to do with it.

Can some please help me with this one.

Thank you, in advance.

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Anu!

The offending class belongs to Eclipse IDE, not Tomcat. If you are truly deploying this WAR and not simply testing it, there shouldn't be any Eclipse-specific classes in it. Eclipse doesn't have any proprietary classes that it includes in application builds the way that older IDEs did. Which, to me, is one of its virtues.
