This behavior is correct. Check this http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jasper-howto.html compilerSourceVM - What JDK version are the source files compatible with? (Default value: 1.6) compilerTargetVM - What JDK version are the generated files compatible with? (Default value: 1.6) Regards, Violeta > Lyallex > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org >
