Hello everybody. Since 8.0.5, it seems that .jsps that include invocations of static interface methods don't work anymore.
Here's an example: Test.java; package com.wfb.test; public interface Test { public static String getText() { return "Gotcha!"; } } test.jsp <%String s = com.wfb.test.Test.getText();%> Tomcat says: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /test.jsp This static method of interface Test can only be accessed as Test.getText 1: <%String s = com.wfb.test.Test.getText();%> Stacktrace: org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:103) org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:199) org.apache.jasper.compiler.JDTCompiler.generateClass(JDTCompiler.java:475) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:380) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:355) org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:342) org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:564) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:357) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:403) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:347) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:725) org.apache.tomcat.websocket.server.WsFilter.doFilter(WsFilter.java:52) com.wfb.web.container.EnvironmentFilter.doFilter(EnvironmentFilter.java:33) com.wfb.web.container.log4j.Log4JEnvironmentFilter.doFilter(Log4JEnvironmentFilter.java:57) org.apache.logging.log4j.core.web.Log4jServletFilter.doFilter(Log4jServletFilter.java:66)
