Hi,

I posted this question to the beginner's section of the forum, but can't seem to get this fixed.

Hi,

I've just finished installing the JBoss AS 4.0.5.GA using the JEMS installer and I configured it to install the ejb 3.0 profile.

After completing the installation, I deployed my application to the Application Server. Upon trying to run the application however, I encounter the following exception.

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

I do not know why it asks me for a source level of 5.0. I have the Java 1.5.0_12 SDK installed and my JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the installation directory. I have searched my registry to check if the JVM version points to an incorrect version, but haven't found anything yet. I am not sure about configuration options of the Tomcat server though.

Do I need to change any settings to point tomcat to the right resource for the JDK?

I am on a Windows Vista Home Premium machine.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
