Expecting a stackmap frame on java7 and tomcat7 - java

I'm trying to move my application from Java5/6 to Java7.
I can compile and publish the .war sucessfully. The problem is when i put the .war into the Tomcat7. I got the following stacktrace error:

Well, my class "WebrunContextListener" is really simple. It only implements the ServletContextListener, and when fired, it load some our own applications.
I use ant to generate my .war and the Eclipse as IDE.

org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost]]

The project was smoothly running suddenly I got this error in console log. I am using Tomcat version 8.0.35. I have tried everything from clean build to updating the project. I know there are already problems that are solved but none of the solutions worked for me.

Please advice me what to do? Also I have searched everywhere in the pom file and other dependencies are also been generated.
Somewhere in your project there is a corrupted library (jar), at least that's how it was with me. I deleted my local .m2/repository folder and downloaded all dependencies again. If you know exactly which jar is the problem then delete only that one from your local repository. Then build your project again and if dependencies are downloaded correctly your tomcat should be able to run again.
Also just to be sure nothing is cached, delete everything that is inside the /tomcat8/work/Catalina/localhost path. It's the working directory of tomcat and files that tomcat needs during run time are written there. I don't think it's affected, but it doesn't hurt either.
One or two projects which you are adding to the tomcat may be corrupted. In order to fix it all you need to do is.
deleted the project from eclipse
go the project folder of your's and deleted .settings and .classpath file from the project.
Re-import the project in eclipse and then build
This will definitely solve your problem
I had this issue on Eclipse
Right click on project, select Maven --> Update Project -->
Check Update project configurations, refresh workspace resources, clean projects and also "Forced Update of Snapshots/Releases". The last bit was also important for tomcat to work.

tomcat lib consists tomcat-utils.jar i tried multiple ways even including catalina*.jar in class path but its not working.even the server wont start if i deploy it.
You have definitely broken something in your Tomcat installation. Remove your CATALINA_HOME and reinstall Tomcat into it. Do not drop any other JAR files into CATALINA_HOME/lib that you have from your old installation of Tomcat.

I am trying to get my tomcat 8.5 to start on my eclipse.
Everytime I get this error.
I already tried the below fixes but nothing seems to work:
Added log4j.jar to my classpath
cleaned Tomcat Directory
My JDK is 1.8
My JRE is 1.8
Any idea what else to try?

I found my issue.
My lib folder was outside the WebContent folder...
I copied it inside WebContent/WEB-INF and everything is working now

Tomcat 7.0 Lifecycle Exception

When trying to run my Tomcat server I get a weird exception and a popup that only says that Tomcat failed to start; no details.
I did google the problem a bit and some suggested to do a Project Clean and check that the JRE versions for Eclipse and Tomcat are the same, but none of these steps didn't seem to make any difference.
I'm not sure what else could be causing this. The exception it self is too confusing for me to troubleshoot -- I have no clue what all this means.
Any other suggestions than Project Clean and JRE check?

Java VM could not find the class org.json.JSONException:
This is typically due to your code imports that class but it's nowhere to be found on the classpath.
If you use dependency management tool such as maven you can simply find which jar contains that class and add it, otherwise you can typically resolve this by adding the jar into your WEB-INF/libs or other path included in the classpath

UnsupportedClassVersionError means that you have some code compiled with a newer JDK, but are running on an older JRE. In your case, version 51.0 refers to Java7 (which some library that you're using has been compiled with - in your case it seems like the servlet API), and you're running with a previous version, most likely Java6.
Make sure that you're using Java7 and the problem will go away.
This might be caused by incompatible version during compile/run times. (You used a higher one when compiling your classes than one when running them).
So check the used jdk version in compile time and maybe use the same when loading your server.
You have an incompatible class in your lib folder:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: servlets/CheckContacts : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
Update you ~/.profile or ~/.zshrc file with correct JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME="/path/to/java/jdk"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java:$PATH"
then build the war file and run the tomcat startup.sh
