[hikarua...@gmail.com]

I am trying to setup Eureka.

I have downloaded a fresh tomcat 8 and placed the Built war file (or the downloaded war file from the link in https://github.com/Netflix/eureka/wiki/Configuring-Eureka .

I didn't configure anything myself, defaults everywhere.

When i start tomcat I get the following stack traces then:

HTTP Status 500 - Unable to compile class for JSP:

type Exception report

message Unable to compile class for JSP:

[twei...@gmail.com]

I see the same issue. What version of Tomcat are you using? I'm using 8.0.12.

[twei...@gmail.com]

I tried 8.0.9 and it worked again...
