One of the problems seems to be that you are trying to compile the JSP-files
with a very old Java version compatibility. You could improve this by defining
the jsp servlet in your web.xml (or tomcat-web.xml). Here you define the Java
version for compiling the JSPs. This should get rid of the "source level"
messages.
<web-app
. . .
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name>
<param-value>17</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name>
<param-value>17</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
</web-app>

Good luck,

PS: I do not understand why the default is not set to the min. required Java
version. Possibly the current version, sans possible dependency restrictions.
(i.e. Java 24 for Tomcat 11)
