[SOLVED] 12.10.1 frontPage.jsp "generics are not supported in -source 1.3" error

[emilec]

With a recent upgrade to QueueMetrics 12.10.1 I've picked up this error at a few sites.

Code: [Select]

This problem seems specific to Tomcat 5.0. The solution is to edit TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml to set the compiler to 1.5

Code: [Select]

    <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>compilerSourceVM</param-name>

        <init-param>
            <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name>
