Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/axis2/transport/SimpleAxis2Server (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0 - solaris

Question

I'm having problem deploying Axis2 v1.5.3 on my 64 bit Solaris 9 OS, I wonder what should I do in order to successfully run this Axis2 instance with JDK 6 ?
In this OS there are multiple Java JDK version installed but I have already set the env. var to point to the 1.6 binary.
Suddenly I realize that I can always open up the setenv.sh file and then hard code it manually for safer option,
export AXIS2_HOME="/opt/local/sys/axis2-1.5.3"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java1.6/bin/java"
export AXIS2_CLASSPATH="$AXIS2_CLASSPATH"
Here's the history log:

Answer 1

Try to add this bit inside ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc for the user that is going to run this.
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java1.6
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Restart the console session and make sure you get java 6 version when you run java -showversion command
