I’m trying to make a guestbook tutorial work on GAE but in vain. It runs perfectly on localhost but fails to start on GAE. I wonder how I couldn’t find a solution for something this obvious and simple. Anyway I use version 1.6.5 and those are the log errors:

Also can you explain how goes debugging of this log? Top to bottom? Bottom to top? Any suggestion for reference on the debugging?
Ok finaly got it. As I saw in like 10 questions before it was a problem with JDK 1.7. Though I didn’t realize how to change it right. I tried window->prefs->installed JREs to choose/add jdk1.7/jre1.7/jre1.6… but in vain. Even if you activate jre1.6 here (and in the end it didn’t matter what to choose here) you need to choose active JDK in other place.
Bottom line: I changed in ‘window->prefs->compiler’ compiler (JDK) complience level to 1.6 and it worked!
Good luck to all!
