in application it is just a registration form, which is submitted via Ajax post request. when I click on button to register it is giving me the following exception. while that was working fine on localhost

Answer 1

I think the problem ist, that you compile your project with Java 7, but GAE works with Java 6. So you must build/compile your project with Java 6

See here for the Java environment
