Running GWT application on apache tomcat 8

I'm developing a GWT(2.6.0) application with eclipse kepler, java 7 & external tomcat server 7. Recently the external web server is upgraded to latest tomcat 8.
I'm sure that I've changed all configurations correctly in eclipse debugging environment, but when I want to start server in debug mode I get a JSP compilation error & I can't start debugging.
Is GWT 2.6 compatible with tomcat server 8.0? and what about java 8 support by GWT?

Solution

  • 1.- Yes GWT works perfectly with TC 8.0

    2.- Java 8 support will be available in GWT-3.0.0, probably in 2015 Q1. Actually there are patches coming to GWT master trunk related with this. https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/#/c/9260/
