I am deploying Solr(4.10).war on Websphere 8.5.5   

I get the 'Bad Major Version" Error for the all the classes configured in the web.xml.

Below is the Error log for class: RedirectServlet

I checked the version of the class: org.apache.solr.servlet.RedirectServlet both in my war as well at the deployed location.

Does anyone has any insight on it?
