>   One of the problems seems to be that you are trying to compile the JSP-files with a very old Java version compatibility.  You could improve this by defining the jsp servlet in your web.xml (or tomcat-web.xml). Here you define the Java version for compiling the JSPs. This should get rid of the "source level" messages.

The as-shipped compilerSourceVM is set to 11, but I changed it to 17 per your
suggestion and added the compilerTargetVM, which was not set.

Unfortunately, this made no difference. I still get the "source level is 1.5 or
greater." error.
