Red5 cannot resolve bean reference

Question

I am working with Red5 0_9_1.

I have everything working fine on my local Windows dev. However, when I upload to the Linux server, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "Launcher:/wieseservices_2"   
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error  
creating bean with name 'web.scope' defined in ServletContext 
resource [/WEB-INF/red5-web.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 
'web.handler' while setting bean property 'handler'; nested 
exception is 
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error 
creating bean with name 'web.handler' defined in ServletContext 
resource [/WEB-INF/red5-web.xml]:

Here is the relevant section of red5-web.xml

<!--
Defines the web scopes
-->
<bean id="web.scope" class="org.red5.server.WebScope"
     init-method="register">
    <property name="server" ref="red5.server" />
    <property name="parent" ref="global.scope" />
    <property name="context" ref="web.context" />
    <property name="handler" ref="web.handler" />
    <property name="contextPath" value="${webapp.contextPath}" />
    <property name="virtualHosts" value="${webapp.virtualHosts}" />
</bean>

<!--
Defines the web handler which acts as an applications endpoint
-->
<bean id="web.handler" 
    class="org.red5.core.Application" 
    singleton="true" />

Here are some things I've done/checked: Both system are running 0.9.1 All folder and file names are correct

I'm at a complete loss here. As I said, it works just fine on my local Windows machine, but not with the Linux install.

Answer 1

You are getting a ClassNotFoundException which means the specified class is not available on your classpath. The class in question is

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException

This class is part of JDK 7. You must be running your application with an older version of Java, ex JDK 6.
