tagfiles and generics

[manica]

Is it possible to use Java5 generics as method parameters in a JSP 2.0 tagfile? I've tried specifying the method parameters using both angle brackets and their html escape equivalent.

<function-signature>boolean foo(java.util.Collection<Bar>)</function-signature>

and

<function-signature>boolean foo(java.util.Collection&lt;Bar&gt;)</function-signature>

Neither works. When using the angle brackets, there is an XML parsing problem. When using the html escape characters, it claims that it can't find type "java.util.Collection<Bar>".

Thank you!

Hi,


to enable 1.5-complient code in jboss you must do the following:

* edit jboss-home/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/conf/web.xml
o find the servlet called jsp and add the following init params:
<!-- enable 1.5 code -->
<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>
<!-- end of 1.5 enablement -->
* copy java-home/lib/tools.jar to jboss-home/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/
* copy ant-home/lib/ant.jar to the same location (use ant 1.6.5 or above)
* remove jasper-compiler-jdt.jar from that location (the ant.jar replaces its functionality)
