Respected Tomcat Experts, I understand this would be a commonly asked question but I was not able to reach any concrete solution by digging around the net. We are planning to move to Apache Tomcat (probably the latest stable version) and Java 8. So, my question is that whether Apache Tomcat v7/v8 would run with Java 8 and support applications build using Java 8. The Release notes (https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt), mention that Tomcat requires Java 7 or later. Similarly, a blog (https://spring.io/blog/2014/03/21/java-8-in-enterprise-projects) also claims (and explains why) Tomcat's compatibility. However, a discussion on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18208805/does-tomcat-8-support-java-8), has claims and counter claims regarding this. So, hoping to get a concrete confirmation -- either ways -- from this group. ___________________ Thks & brgds P Manchanda
