| 26 | How to configure Tomcat to use Java 1.5 |
|---|
| 27 | ======================================= |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | The below trick is not needed for later Tomcat 5.5 releases. We have |
|---|
| 30 | succesfully installed, and use, a non-modified Tomcat version 5.5.15 |
|---|
| 31 | with BASE. If you use release 5.5.15 or later you can safely skip the |
|---|
| 32 | rest of this file. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | The new Tomcat 5.5 (and older tomcat 5) comes with it's own compiler, |
|---|
| 35 | which is not Java 1.5 compatible. Here are the instructions to replace |
|---|
| 36 | the built-in compiler with Sun's compiler. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | It requires that you have downloaded and installed Java 1.5 SDK |
|---|
| 39 | and Ant. |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | * Copy "tools.jar" from JAVA_HOME/lib to TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | * Copy "ant.jar" from ANT_HOME/lib to TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | * Remove "jasper-compiler-jdt.jar" from TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | * Open the file "TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml" and locate the place |
|---|
| 48 | that says: |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | <servlet> |
|---|
| 51 | <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> |
|---|
| 52 | <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> |
|---|
| 53 | <init-param> |
|---|
| 54 | <param-name>fork</param-name> |
|---|
| 55 | <param-value>false</param-value> |
|---|
| 56 | </init-param> |
|---|
| 57 | <init-param> |
|---|
| 58 | <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> |
|---|
| 59 | <param-value>false</param-value> |
|---|
| 60 | </init-param> |
|---|
| 61 | <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> |
|---|
| 62 | </servlet> |
|---|
| 63 | |
|---|
| 64 | Add two new <init-param> tags: |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | <init-param> |
|---|
| 67 | <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> |
|---|
| 68 | <param-value>1.5</param-value> |
|---|
| 69 | </init-param> |
|---|
| 70 | <init-param> |
|---|
| 71 | <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> |
|---|
| 72 | <param-value>1.5</param-value> |
|---|
| 73 | </init-param> |
|---|
| 74 | |
|---|
| 75 | Restart the Tomcat web server. Everything should now work. |
