Well I'm sure it is ... but you miss the point entirely I'm afraid I'll try again I said " It seems a little strange that running Tomcat against 1.7 wouldn't automatically configure Jasper to compile against 1.7 ... doesn't it" I'm not sure how you interpret this statement as an assertion that the behavior is incorrect. Once again. Why is it that when Tomcat is run against Java 1.7 and obviously interprets classes written in 1.7 correctly Jasper isn't configure to compile at 1.7 compliance level. It's just a question, I found it interesting.
