Rory, Thanks for letting us know that a new build is available. We continue to test Tomcat with Java 9 and are tracking multiple issues. The majority of these have emerged as a result of a review of Tomcat's memory leak prevention and detection code.
We would appreciate any help you can provide in nudging the following issues towards resolution. Some of these are very new so it is not surprising that not much has happened so far. 1. JVMTI bug that prevents tools like YourKit and Eclipse MAT identifying the root causes of memory leaks caused by initialization of static Exception fields. Review ID: JI-9037905 2. Memory leak in com.sun.jndi.ldap.pool.PoolCleaner http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-May/040988.html https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8156824 3. Memory leak in sun.rmi.transport.GC http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-May/040893.html 4. API to trace RMI Target memory leaks without resorting to reflection (I accept that this is unlikely but If you don't ask...) http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2016-May/040855.html 5. Rare memory leak in sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 poller thread http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2016-May/013841.html We have also noticed that JSP compilation is broken. Our current understanding is that we should be able to fix this with an update to the Eclipse JDT compiler. We'll let you know if that changes. Finally, there are still some memory leak issues we haven't reviewed. As that progresses, we may have a few more issues to add to the memory leak issues listed above.
