Description richardbremner 2006-02-10 14:37:51 UTC 
With an out of the box installation, in a new or existing webapp, it is
neccessary to edit the web.xml file (found in tomcat's conf directory) to add
the following settings.

    <init-param>
      <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name>
      <param-value>1.5</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name>
      <param-value>1.5</param-value>
    </init-param>

This should happen automatically when the project's target platform is set to 1.5.

-> enhancement
Comment 2 Petr Pisl 2006-07-27 19:41:36 UTC 
Stepan, this can be implemented very easily in the new web project wizard. Could
you do it into NetBeans 5.5? 

IMHO I think that this is realy a bug, because a wizard generate code that
doesn't work.
Comment 3 Petr Pisl 2006-07-27 19:53:27 UTC 
I try it and it seams that Tomcat 5.5.17 doesn't need this change for running
jsp pages with generics. Could you confirm this? If yes we can close this.
Comment 4 Sherold Dev 2006-07-28 11:04:46 UTC 
Yes, the version of Tomcat NB is bundled with now, does not need this change
anymore -> closing as FIXED
