Setting the JDK version and compiler in JBoss for JSP pages

If you need to run Java 1.5 in your JSP’s in JBoss 4.0.5.GA you can do so by editing a small setting in an XML file in your server directory:

\jboss\server\[SERVER NAME]\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\conf\web.xml

You can then change the compiler version by un-commenting the code below which you will find in the web.xml.

      <!-- Uncomment to use jdk1.5 features in jsp pages
      <init-param>
         <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name>
         <param-value>1.5</param-value>
      </init-param>
      -->

Changing this will then allow for a different JDK to be used in your JSP’s.
