I am upgrading the frameworks of an old project. The updates involve several major versions:
JDK did not suffer any updates, we are using Java 8. Though I believe there was no source code using any Java 8 features before the update.
I was leaning on the compiler and I fixed all the class references, updated DTD for the frameworks, etc.
Finally the project compiles with just a few deprecation wornings and no errors. However as soon as I load the index page, with the login prompt, I get the error below.
There are only 4 classes in the code below that are not part of Spring/Strut/Hibernate, but all they do is to call doFilter on Spring security. Simple delegation. I do not create, return, or iterate over any lists or hashmaps.
Any ideas are appreciated. Full stack trace below. Thank you.

So. I figured this our. The issue was a chained message fetcher class.
It seems like concurrent modification exception is thrown when you have a collection (like a HashMap) of objects and one of the objects in this collection tries to append new elements to the same collection.
