APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using "Precompile JavaServer Pages files" option during
  the deployment of the application, the deployment process needs
  to ensure the correct jkdsourcelevel value is added as follow:
  
  for web module 2.5, jdkSourceLevel is 1.5
  for web module 3.0, jdkSourceLevel is 1.6
  for web module 3.1 and above, jdkSourceLevel is 1.7
  otherwise it is 1.3
  

Local fix

• Manually edit the ibm-web-ex.xml to change the jdksourcelevel to
  an appropriate value.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When an application containing a Java   *
  *                      Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 7 web      *
  *                      module version 3.1 is installed with    *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When an application containing a Java EE7 web module version
  3.1
  is installed with the Precompile JavaServer Page (JSP) files
  option enabled, the JDK Source Level field has the 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
  E.jdkSourceLevel on the JVM to change the default JDK Source
  Level value for a EE7 web module to 1.7.
  
  1) To enable the system property in Admin 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
  E.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
  E.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
  vaEE.jdkSourceLevel=true"
  
  b) To set the system property in the wsadmin.properties file,
  found at /profiles//properties, add the following line:
  
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.JSPCompile.javaE
  E.jdkSourceLevel=true
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 9.0.0.9. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
