Hi,
does anyone have experience with running Syncope 1.2.x on Tomcat 8?
AFAIK Syncope 1.2.x is not supported/tested on Tomcat 8, but for me it seems to
work.
The only difference I noticed so far is in the class scanning on startup.
At least in my setup, on Tomcat 8 the ImplementationClassLoader scans all
classes in all jar files for implementations of Syncope interfaces. Thus, on
startup all classes in the classpath are loaded, leading to slower startup,
increased usage of metaspace, and some warnings ("could not link class..."
because optional dependencies for some frameworks are not included).
On Tomcat 7, only the classes in WEB-INF/classes seem to be scanned.
Cheers,
Guido
