Question

I have a Spring app on localhost running on:

Tomcat version: 6.0
JDK version: 1.6

I just moved it to a shared third party server running on:

Tomcat version 5.5
JDK version 1.6

Because of this, I think there’s some incompatibility issues because of which I’m not able to access the app properly on shared third party server. I’m able to access only the homepage http://www.nepaladz.com , but the other links throw a 404.

1. Since homepage is running well, does it mean there’s no incompatibility issue?
2. On my localhost, I tried to run it on Tomcat version 5.5, but I get this error while trying to add project to server

Tomcat version 5.5 only supports J2EE 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 Web modules

How can I possibly solve this issue?

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

One of the major difference between Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6 is, that Tomcat 5.5 supports only jsp version 2.0. (Tomcat 6 supports jsp version 2.1).

So check that you use only Jsp version 2.0
