Exception in thread “main” java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: a (Unsupporte d major.minor version 51.0)

i have developed an web application in java using jdk 1.7.0 ,Eclipse IDE (Indigo) and is running that application on the tomcat(apache-tomcat-7.0.23) configured in eclipse ide.

When i tried to run my application through IDE it runs fine but when i created its war and placed it in apache deployment folder(webapps) and run it from outside the IDE the start page gets successfully loaded but when i tried to do any operation over it it gives me an error

UnsupportedClassVersionError unsupported major.minor version 51.0 unable to load class bean.myclassname

i have checked the java version outside ide its jdk 1.7.0 and also the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_01 .

    Well presumably it’s not using the same version of Java when running it externally. Look through the startup scripts carefully to find where it picks up the version of Java to run. You should also check the startup logs to see whether they indicate which version is running.

    Alternatively, unless you need the Java 7 features, you could always change your compiler preferences in Eclipse to target 1.6 instead.
