I don't have 4.0.2, but in 4.0.5, in server/xxx/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sat/conf/web.xml, you would want to uncomment this entry: <!-- Uncomment to use jdk1.5 features in jsp pages | <init-param> | <param-name>compilerSourceVM</param-name> | <param-value>1.5</param-value> | </init-param> | --> Perhaps this is the same in 4.0.2.
