Where exactly do you see the message "source level is 1.5 or greater”? It’s certainly not in the above set of warnings. You should clean out the junk in your <Host> and <Context> configurations so that the real problem(s) might become more visible. None of the properties mentioned in the messages are permitted in those configuration elements. (<Resources> does include allowLinking, but setting it to "true" has security implications on some systems.) Hopefully, you didn’t just copy the Tomcat 8.5 config files into Tomcat 10.1 - the config items have changed noticeably over the years. - Chuck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
