SSH整合时，tomcat启动报错(unable to load class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver)

作为一个初学者，碰到过好些错误，一直没有做记录，突然觉得记录下也是好的。
今天在做SSH整合的时候，碰到tomcat启动报错的问题，如下

Exception in thread "com.mchange.v2.async.ThreadPoolAsynchronousRunner$PoolThread-#1" Exception in thread "com.mchange.v2.async.ThreadPoolAsynchronousRunner$PoolThread-#0" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/mysql/jd

看了网上各种方法，不是数据库的用户名密码错误，也不是tomcat缓存配置错误等等，最终找到一个合适的解决方法，那就是tomcat7.+配mysql驱动5.+，tomcat8.+配mysql驱动6.+，是tomcat版本和mysql驱动版本不匹配的缘故，最后回头看看错误信息，UnsupportedClassVersionError这句话就说明了原因。
(每次记录一点点，每天学习一点点，那也是极好的，@_@)
