John, Ooops, you may need to set the init parram "compilerSourceVM" instead (to 1.7).
Although, re-reading your initial email, it seems like you are using an old version of jetty-7, so this may not work with the version of jsp engine in that. If you can upgrade to 7.6.4 I think you should find that the init param(s) will work. cheers Jan On 12 July 2012 04:21, John English <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/07/2012 03:21, Jan Bartel wrote: >> >> John, >> >> change webdefaults to add this initParam to the jsp servlet: >> >> <init-param> >> <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> >> <param-value>1.7</param-value> >> </init-param> > > > Jan, > Many thanks for this.
