APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When deploying an application using the administrative
  console's "fast track" method, if the "Precompile JSPs" option
  is enabled, the server will include the jdkSourceLevel
  attribute into the generated ibm-web-ext.xmi set to "13". As
  this is different than the default value for modern JVMs, it
  will cause unexpected compile-time errors.
  

Local fix

• use the detailed deployment option and set the source level to
  the desired value

  ****************************************************************
  When an application containing a Java EE5 web module is
  installed with the Precompile JavaServer Page (JSP) files
  option enabled, the JDK Source Level field has 13 as the
  default value in the step to provide option to compile JSPs.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified to allow the user to set the system
  property
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.javaE
  E5.jdkSourceLevel on the JVM to override the default JDK
  Source Level value for a EE5 web module. This property is
  available only on WebSphere Application Server version 7.0.
  Starting with version 8.0, the JDK Source Level field has 15
  as the default value when a Java EE5 web module is detected.
  
  1) To enable the system property in the Administrative Console:
  
  a) In a Network Deployment environment, the system property is
  set on the Deployment Manager. System administration -->
  Deployment manager --> Java and Process Management --> Process
  definition --> Java Virtual Machine --> Custom properties
  
  Name :
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.javaE
  E5.jdkSourceLevel
  
  Value : true
  
  b) In a Base environment, the system property is set on
  server1. Servers --> WebSphere application servers --> server1
  --> Java and Process Management --> Process definition -->
  Java Virtual Machine --> Custom properties
  
  Name :
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.javaE
  E5.jdkSourceLevel
  
  Value : true
  
  2) To enable the system property in wsadmin it must be set as
  an option when starting wsadmin or in the wsadmin.properties
  file.
  
  a) To set the system property when starting wsadmin do the
  following:
  
  wsadmin -javaoption
  "-Dcom.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.ja
  vaEE5.jdkSourceLevel=true"
  
  b) To set the system property in the wsadmin.properties file,
  found at profiles/<profileName>/properties directory, add
  the following line:
  
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.javaE
  E5.jdkSourceLevel=true
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 7.0.0.33.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
