Java and JavaServer Pages

Use this preference page to add, modify, or delete the Java™ Development Kit (JDK) that is used for scans (and to set a default JDK). In addition, use the page to set the default JavaServer Page (JSP) compiler.

Default

Identifies the location of the JDK used for scans. A scan uses the default JDK path when the project does not specify an explicit JDK. To set the JDK as the default, right-click the identified JDK name and click Set Default JDK. The default icon appears in the table, identifying the current default JDK.

Note: Out-of-the-box, the default compiler for JSP projects is Tomcat 7, which requires Java Version 1.6 or higher. If Tomcat 7 is kept as default, using an earlier JDK will result in compilation errors during scans.

JDK Name and Path

Identifies the name and location of the JDK.

Default Compiler for JSP Projects

Out-of-the-box, Tomcat 7 is the default JSP compiler setting. To learn about the compilers that are supported by AppScan® Source for Analysis, see System requirements and installation prerequisites.
