Question

I'm using Netbeans 7.2 with apache tomcat server of version 5.5.It is not supporting java 7 features and asking to set server level to 7? how can i do that? or should i use other server?which one will u recommend?

Answer 1

Apache Tomcat 7 does work with Java 7. You can check Tomcat 7 latest changelog at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/changelog.html

Note: Most of the times, it's good to start your development with latest server available (unless you have a very specific version requirements)

Answer 2

当前没有支持Java 7的Tomcat版本。已知所有当前支持的Apache Tomcat版本（5.5.x，6.0.x和7.0.x）均可在Java 6上正确运行。
