tomcat
Solution
According to the Tomcat Docs:
Any installed Java 7 or later JRE (32-bit or 64-bit) may be used.
Problem
Is tomcat 8 (today as RC1 - see this) supporting Java 8, even if it is still in beta? Among others Tomcat 8 supports Java EE 7: - Websockets - Servlet api 3.1 (Asynch servlet support) I had trouble in the past with Tomcat 7 / Java 7, that's why I am asking this question. Update An interesting article on infoq indicates that tomcat 8 is ready for java 8. Even Tomcat 7 would be. See the article here If you see any compatibility issue, I will report it here.
