java 8 lambda expression support for glass-fish server

Question

I m trying to use lambda expressions inside jsp script-let. But I gives me following error.

PWC6199: Generated servlet error:
lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.5
  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions) 

I'm using:

• Source/Binary Format = JDK 8
• Java EE 7
• glass-fish server 4.1
• IDE - NETBEANS

Any suggestions to get rid of this error would be appreciable.

Answer 1

You need to set JSP compiler source, which can be done in glassfish-web.xml.

<jsp-config>
    <property name="compilerSourceVM" value="8"/>
    <property name="compilerTargetVM" value="8"/>
</jsp-config>

But for me it isn't final solution, because after change compiler source, server write: JasperException: PWC6033: Error in Javac compilation for JSP.
