Also remember that he said he had multiple versions of Java installed on his machine and it is possible that what Tomcat runs under may very well be different from what a console window would get. This is the case for me as well. I have three or four different versions of the JRE and what version is active in a process is dependent on the environment I set for that process.
If you are coding a servlet, you can use System.out.println( System.getProperty( "java.version" ) ); and that will show you the version that is active for that process. Robert S.

So even if you have 1.5 your JSPs still might compile in 1.4 mode. This is setup in the tomcat xml config file.
