Hi, We have a problem with Java 9 support for JSPs with Tomcat 7.
The latest version of the ECJ compiler we can ship with Tomcat 7 is 4.4.2 since that is the latest version that supports Java 6 and Tomcat 7 is required (by the specs) to run on Java 6. The earliest version of the ECJ compiler that supports Java 9 is 4.5. Hence, we can't support Java 9 for JSPs and be spec compliant for Tomcat 7. My current thinking is that we simply hard code the necessary constants to configure ECJ for Java 9 into Tomcat 7 so it will work if the user: a) replaces the ECJ JAR that ships with Tomcat 7 with a more recent version; and b) configures Jasper for Java 9 We could also try and catch if Jasper is configured for 1.9 but ECJ doesn't support it. Thoughts?
