title: can't deploy spring war file after migrating Java JDK 1.6 to 1.8 on Apache server
body: <p>I've been working on different Spring project at work and was just notified that they were requested to upgrade java from 1.6 to 1.8</p>
  
  <p>I updated my machine (localhost) and then was able to deploy the war file to my localhost without any issues but the webserver gives the status OK once uploaded but it won't deploy the file nor create the directory structure in the webapps directory.</p>
  
  <p>My local server status info is as follow:
  Tomcat Version: Pivotal tc Runtime 3.1.2.RELEASE/8.0.26.B.RELASE   <br />
  JVM Version: 1.8.0_66-b18 <br />
  JVM Vendor: Oracle <br />
  OS Name: Windows 7 <br />
  OS Version: 6.1 <br />
  OS Architecture: amd64 <br />
  <br />
  WebServerinfo:<br />
  Tomcat Version: Apache Tomcat/7.0.22<br />
  JVM Version: 1.8.0-b17<br />
  JVM Vendor: Oracle Corporation<br />
  OS Name: Linux<br />
  OS Version: 2.6.32.12-0.7-default<br />
  OS Infractucture: amd64</p>
  
  <p>I tried looking at the different log files but couldn't find anything related to it.
  What can i do to figure out what is causing the webserver not to deploy the file properly?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
