I have migrated my application from WAS 6 to WAS 7. The code is not showing any compilation error or missing anything, but when I am trying to run the application, I get following exception.

 [9/19/12 9:45:37:609 EDT] 00000009 extension     W com.ibm.wsspi.webcontainer.extension.WebExtensionProcessor createServletWrapper Servlet action is currently unavailable: SRVE0203E: Servlet [action]: com.ibm.services.tools.citrus.ctl.ActionServlet was found, but is missing another required class.

    SRVE0206E: This error typically implies that the servlet was originally compiled with classes which cannot be located by the server.

So I checked the ffdc exception trace and I found out following exception. I have include all the jar which were referred by the old configuration.

SRVE0187E: Check your class path to ensure that all classes required by the servlet are present.SRVE0210I: This problem can be debugged by recompiling the servlet using only the classes in the application's runtime class path

And I want to understand what is the mean by this problem can be debugged by recompiling the servlet using only the classes in the application's runtime class path.

The error indicates that your servlet is importing or is otherwise dependent on classes which are no longer available after the upgrade. Since the exception does not name the class which is missing, WAS suggests that you compile your app against the WAS 7 libraries. If you do this, the compiler will tell you which dependent class is missing. You are probably compiling against WAS 6, or some other libraries, which is why the error is delayed until runtime.

Following may be reason for same issue.

1. Used libraries/jar is not compatible for ur java version on which application is build.


2. In my case, i had use two utility.jar(for others may be any other jars) one is build with compatible and one is build with higher version.
   Solved: When removed higher version jar.
