Tomcat 5.5.10 has an update JDT compiler from Eclipse 3.1. This understands Java 5. You can also configure that you compile with the sun compiler.

Hi All, Easiest part of this question is simply does tomcat (5.5.7) support using generic types in JSP files? I searched release notes, FAQ, etc and found no mention either way. Does some erudite soul have the answer? Secondly, if it's supposed to support it, why then would it have difficulty with the following: In Part.java (a valid java object, visible from the jsp): public static ArrayList<Part> listParts() {/* code */} In TestPart.jsp (specifically line 4): <% ArrayList<Part> parts = Part.listParts(); %> Attempting to access TestPart results in: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /tools/TestPart.jsp Generated servlet error: Syntax error on token "<", invalid AssignmentOperator An error occurred at line: 4 in the jsp file: /tools/TestPart.jsp Generated servlet error: Syntax error on token "=", != expected An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /tools/TestPart.jsp Generated servlet error: Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s) An error occurred at line: 17 in the jsp file: /tools/TestPart.jsp Generated servlet error: Syntax error on token ")", : expected It's clearly puking on the "<ObjectName>" generic type syntax; so, is it actually supported?
