Hello, I use on my application a web listener ( ServletContextListener ) that allows you to compile jsp at startup .
It does not work on Tomcat 8 in call : servletContext.getRequestDispatcher ( path); Here is the stack : org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log Error during mapping java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.mapper.Mapper.internalMapWrapper(Mapper.java:842) at org.apache.catalina.mapper.Mapper.map(Mapper.java:712) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.getRequestDispatcher(ApplicationContext.java:503) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContextFacade.getRequestDispatcher(ApplicationContextFacade.java:221) at fr.ms.tomcat.servlet.listener.JspCompileRunnable.run(JspCompileRunnable.java:25) This is occurs when the map contextObjectToContextVersionMap is still null. It is enriched at the end of the boot StandardServer so after initializing listeners . Thread [main] (Suspended (breakpoint at line 265 in Mapper)) owns: MapperListener (id=456) owns: StandardService (id=457) owns: Object (id=458) owns: StandardServer (id=459) Mapper.addContextVersion(String, Host, String, String, Context, String[], WebResourceRoot, Collection<WrapperMappingInfo>) line: 265 MapperListener.registerContext(Context) line: 380 MapperListener.registerHost(Host) line: 302 MapperListener.startInternal() line: 110 MapperListener(LifecycleBase).start() line: 150 StandardService.startInternal() line: 450 StandardService(LifecycleBase).start() line: 150 StandardServer.startInternal() line: 769 StandardServer(LifecycleBase).start() line: 150 Catalina.start() line: 625 NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Method, Object, Object[]) line: not available [native method] NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 57 DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Object, Object[]) line: 43 Method.invoke(Object, Object...) line: 606 Bootstrap.start() line: 351 Bootstrap.main(String[]) line: 485 it works fine with tomcat 5, 6 and 7. Environnement : apache- tomcat- 8.0.15 or apache -tomcat- 8.0.18 Windows 8.1 Java 7 update 75 Thank you.
