http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31269 Configuration for Java 1.5 is too hairy Summary: Configuration for Java 1.5 is too hairy Product: Tomcat 5 Version: Nightly Build Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: Other Component: Jasper AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In order to set up Tomcat 5.5.2 alpha so that it would compile JSPs that contained Java code with Java 1.5 features, I had to do the following: 1. Specify the Ant compiler in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml: <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compiler</param-name> <param-value>modern</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> <param-value>1.5</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> </servlet> 2. Drop ant.jar and ant-launcher.jar from a Tomcat 5.0.x distribution into $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. 3. Add a command line argument to the Tomcat start up script: -Djavac.source=1.5 This is a big pain. Recommendations: 1. Bundle the necessary Ant jars. 2. Add a "compilerSource" parameter to the Jasper configuration parameters. Better yet, have a single "source" parameter since cross-compilation is an unlikely use case. 3. Default the source to 1.5. 4. Document the procedure ala the documentation for using Jikes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
