Hi Abbas,

Are you using Probe 2.3.x?  It does not contain a Tomcat 8 adapter.  The dev team is working on 2.4 which will contain a Tomcat 8 adapter.  You can clone the github source and build it yourself if you require Tomcat 8 functionality now.

I'm running tomcat 8.0.22, snapshot of psi probe 2.4, windows 8.1 64-bit.  No issues.  I'd also say it sounds like you probably have 2.3.x version being used.  I've went a huge step further though with this library for my production needs.  I forked it and upgraded to spring 3 as well allowing us to run jdk 8 update 45 as well as not have any security related vulnerabilities.
