OK, thanks. I first tried putting this in the webapp's web.xml, so I
have this:

  <servlet id="jsp">
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>compilerTargetVM</param-name>
      <param-value>1.7</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>fork</param-name>
      <param-value>false</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

but it didn't work. (I also tried "7" instead of "1.7" since the error
message talks about "-source 1.5" but "-source 7", not "-source 1.7".)
Is this something that can't be done on a per-webapp basis?

Can you tell me how I do that please?

Many thanks,
