I'm setting up a Windows 7 development box running IBM WebSphere 8.5 (64-bit), IBM 1.7 JDK (64-bit). I have installed the ColdFusion 11 ear (11,0,03,292480) file, but when I try register a web services in the ColdFusion Adminstrator using both Web Service Version 1 or 2 I get the following error.
Error 500: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: JVMCFRE003 bad major version; class="com"/sun/tools/javac/Main, offset=6
From what I have read online (Java Errors: “UnsupportedClassVersionError…bad major version at offset=x” - The Altogether) the "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:" and "bad major version" mean that the project was compiled with a higher level Java compiler than the runtime can support. I am running the IBM 1.7 JDK, when I do a version check (java.exe -version) in the bin directory it says it is based on Oracle 7u13-b08. I have read ColdFusion 11 supports Java 1.7 so I am not sure what the problem is.
