jdk1.5, tomcat 5.5.9 and jsp compilation

I've a problem compiling jsp's against jdk1.5. I've searched the archives,
google, tomcat docs etc but found no help on my specific issue although I
can see anumber of people have had problems with generics support.

I've changed to the Ant compiler and copied the ant.jar to common/lib, added
the compiler parameters to conf/web.xml to enable 1.5 compilation.

I still get a message saying that generics are not supported and I should
change the -source 1.4 to -source 1.5.

I've looked through the ant docs and this appears to be related to the javac
tag in build.xml, but I'm not sure where to put this tag in the context of a
tomcat installation. I've looked through the tomcat docs on jasper (how-to)
but I believe I've removed the dependency on japser so I dont think this is
relevant, although it does mention using the 'javac' argument with
catalina.sh. I've tried this with no success, but it's quite possible I
didn't configure this properly as I'm not sure where catalina.sh is called
from. I've looked through the .sh files but it's not clear.

To sum up, I would like to know how to configure '-source 1.4' to '-source
1.5' or am I barking up the wrong tree?

thanks

Why not?

I'm pretty sure you can't use 1.5 features in the jsp page itself because
it's not using the javac compiler.  You can use 1.5 features in your java
class files though.

It could be ant...

  <javac srcdir="${src}"
         destdir="${build}"
         fork="java$$javac.exe"
         source="1.5"                                             <-----
  />

(see the Ant manual at http://ant.apache.org/manual - core tasks - javac)

Success,

Mylène

Re: jdk1.5, tomcat 5.5.9 and jsp compilation

Posted by Leon Rosenberg <ro...@googlemail.com>.
I can vague remember issues about tomcat 5.5.x which came out with the
jdt from eclipse which had no support for 1.5. I maybe also be
completely wrong here.
Are you talking about precompiling jsps before deployment, or
production-compile during runtime?
Have you tried the 5.5.16?

regards
Leon
