IdP Setup - UnsupportedClassVersionError

[BT]

I'm getting a "java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in
.class file (unable to load class
edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.log.SLF4JMDCCleanupFilter)" error
when trying to deploy the idp.xml to Tomcat.

 

It seems like this would be related to the setup of the endorsed jars with
Tomcat, but I can't seem to track it down.  I created TOMCAT_HOME\endorsed
and copied all the shibboleth endorsed jars there.  I've validated that
Tomcat6w.exe shows
"-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Cypress\JSP\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\endorsed" as an
included Java option and also tried adding "${catalina.home}/endorsed/*.jar"
to the common.loader in catalina.properties for good measure.

 

Any advice or direction would be much appreciated.


Thanks.

Brian
