javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor, but class was expected

Question

I am struggling with this error , when i am publishing my JSP application in Tomcat7.0 i am getting this error

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Found interface org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor, but class was expected

I don't know the exact reason for this error.

Answer 1

IncompatibleClassChangeError is usually caused by compiling against one version of a library and executing against a different version.

I would ensure that the version of JDK used for Tomcat7 is the same version as compiled org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor
