Hi Dirk, also running with JDK-8, and ran into the same problem. Seems extremely weird to me, as we're enforcing/building/running with JDK-8, but according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/47461590 it's the expected behaviour: tomcat 8 by default uses JDK-7 level to compile and run the JSPs (tomcat 9 uses JDK-8 for the same thing).
Our README.md file simply states that the following prerequisites are needed (textually): - A JSP engine that supports Servlet API 3.1. We recommend Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/ for a really easy installation. Tomcat 8.x or later is supported. - JDK 8+ I'd rather update that doc to state that Tomcat 9 is recommended, although Tomcat 8 is supported, with a link to a new entry to https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Common%20problems%20when%20building%20JSPWiki describing how to run JSPWiki with Tomcat 8.x. That way the expected installation should be as smooth as ever.. We should also update the cargo maven plugin configuration to use tomcat 9, but that should be trivial. Thoughts? Also related to this, I ran the integration tests before last push (there were a lot of changes), and they were ok, as they right now just perform a login / logout + an anonymous view test. I still have pending adding an integration test to verify a page edit which would have caught this problem on the first place :-/ best regards, juan pablo On Thu, Mar 5, 2020 at 1:22 PM Dirk Frederickx <dirk.frederi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Following additions to the tomcat/conf/web.xml fixed the problem. > We probably need to make a note of this on the jspwiki docs (min > requirement tomcat 8.5; + ... ) ? > > <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> > > > dirk > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2020 at 10:38 PM Dirk Frederickx <dirk.frederi...@gmail.com > > > wrote: > > > I'm getting following error after installing the latest version.
