Tomcat is throwing an error Invalid byte tag in constant pool:19
I am trying to rebuild my applications and all of a sudden, I am getting the following error:
Our backend application (from third party has been updated) It is using Java 11.
My tomcat servers are running version 7.34 of tomcat and version 1.7.0_45.
I have rebuilt and deploy a large number of our Apps; but there are about 4 with the following error:

When I first tried this a couple of weeks ago... I needed up trying to upgrade Tomcat to the latest release of 7.0_94
Everything started to fall apart, the javax modules were failing, etc. I finally realized I was chasing my tail.
Every time I got one thing working, two more broke.
Restored everything back and went through the rebuild.
I tried to copy the annotation_api.jar file from Tomcat 7.0_94 into tomcat 7.0_45 but nothing would deploy...
I'm at a loss on what could be happening....
Any help would be appreciate any guidance.

All you have to do is upgrade to Tomcat 7.0.latest and you should not
see this problem.
Now, since the vendor of your "Portal" application has moved to Java
11, it looks like they have also compiled the application with Java 11
as well, and the class files will likely not be compatible with Java 7.
So you will find that once Tomcat gets past this problem, you may have
a host of other problems caused by this version mismatch.
Thanks,

RE: Tomcat is throwing an error Invalid byte tag in constant pool:19
Posted by "Nelligan, Steven M" <sn...@illinois.edu>.
Thank you for your response...
We run multiple servers for our application.
We have a configuration as follows:
1. Portal ... running tomcat 7.0_45 and java 7... this is the outward facing running jetspeed. This is the server throwing the errors
2. Tomcat ... running tomcat 7.0_45 and java 7... this is our back-end business logic server
3. Mule .. enterprise service bus broker ... no tomcat running java 7
4. AiM .. our ERP software from a third party ... runing tomcat_9 and java 11
We cannot upgrade Java at this point, because of an old third party application running on the portal. It requires Java 7.
We are currently exploring new packages to replace it, but this will take some time to finalize.
I've attached the catalina log showing the error. The error appears on startup of Tomcat.
I tried to replace the annotation_api.jar with a newer version, somewhere on the web, it was posted that replacing this jar file with a new version solved his problem; which was simular to mine.

You'll need at least 7.0.88 for Java 11 support.

That is what I would recommend (or latest 8.5.x / 9.0.x but that is probably changing too much in one go).

You are going to have to try this again. Can I suggest you post the first error you see here and we can try and talk you through fixing it.

Why do that?

1.7.0_45 is the version of Java? But you say that those web
applications need at least Java 11?

Sounds a lot like this issue that I answered a year ago:

The latest release of Tomcat 7 is 7.0.96, released in July.
