B4J Question Web server with B4J

[Andie]

To build a web server with B4J there are some code examples in the forum:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/server-building-web-servers-with-b4j.37172/
and
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...p-to-your-b4j-server-over-the-internet.37201/

The code worked approx. three years ago. Now I tried to make a new release with the latest B4J version. But when I start the jar file in the command line

java -jar FileServer.jar

it says:

Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: b4j/example/main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 53.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

What can I do?

The error means that you compiled the program with Java 9+ and are trying to run it with Java 8.

I just added

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk-14.0.1\bin\

to the Path system variable. So, the java.exe and the javac.exe belong to the same java version, which I use for B4J. But unfortunately, the same message as above appears.

In addition, during the release process I get these log messages:

In addition, during the release process I get these log messages:

Looks excellent.

Don't add anything to the path. Explicitly start the correct java with the full path.

Great! It's working now.
