JSP Servlet Configuration (Tomcat 7)
If you are using Tomcat 7, then the upgrade to Java 8
requires the addition of two parameters to the JSP servlet configuration
in your Tomcat web.xml
file
(tomcat-home/conf/web.xml
).
The following extract shows the two new parameters highlighted:
... <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>fork</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup> <init-param> <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> <param-value>1.8</param-value></init-param> <init-param> <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name> <param-value>1.8</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> ...
