Unable to compile class for JSP with Tomcat 7 and Java 8

Post by c903353 »

We run the Dovetailed Technologies Tomcat 7.0.27 Quickstart and have changed from Java 7 to Java 8.
Tomcat comes up and runs however when a JSP should be compiled we get the following error:
HTTP Status 500
type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

An error occurred at line: 214 in the jsp file: /jsp/QryResult.jsp
The type java.lang.CharSequence cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
211: }
212: }
213: qryHtml = sbQry.toString();
214: if(qryHtml.contains("CALL") || qryHtml.contains("EXEC"))
215: qryHtml = qryHtml.replaceFirst("\\?",paramEntId);
216: }
217: %>

Is there a problem with Tomcat 7.0.27 and Java 8 or do I need to perform some additional customization?
