can you tell us the version of Tomcat and JDK that you are using ? — Amar Agrawal, May 22 '15 at 07:54
the exception now that you are getting is due to the older version of the Tomcat , try upgrading to Tomcat8 or Tomcat7 it will work. Tomcat 5.5 is not compatible with jdk1.7 — Amar Agrawal, May 22 '15 at 13:02
