Error when update from STS2.8 to STS3.1.0, Java 6 to Java 7, and Tomcat 6 to Tomcat 7

[david77]

I did not change the original code and original lib references (still use Java 6 libs). Web Server is Tomcat 7.
When start MyApp, got exception error on Console as follows. Please help me to gifure it out. If need to update Lib references, how to copy those STS 3.1.0 framework? I use the Oracle 11g ex as database. The original application work very well for Java 6 and Tomcat 6. Thank you very much for any help and suggestion.

Hey!

Sorry for the delay... holiday season... Happy New Year!!! :-)

It looks like there is a problem with the configuration or maybe the property file that contains the connection properties not being deployed correctly. Hard to say what is causing this, but can you take a look at the deployed application to see if your property file with your database connection properties is there?

HTH,
Martin
