FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My java servlet (Tomcat 6.26 ) application reads html (jsp actually) file with embedded keywords and replaces them with generated html/javascript/CSS web page code and directs user browser to the generated resulting web page. The code snippet doing this is here:

File formFile = new File(m_Request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath(""), getServletName() + ".jsp");
util_APIs.waitForFile(formFile.getParentFile(), true);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(formFile));
bw.write(sOut);
bw.close();

RequestDispatcher rd = m_Request.getRequestDispatcher("/" + formFile.getName());
rd.forward(m_Request, m_Response);

The last line of the code above generates the exception below:


[2016-04-27 11:48:20:589] Exception: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

I trace the effect to a both recently released (Apr 18) JDK/JRE 8u91 and 8u92. Once I revert to the JDK/JRE 8u77 or earlier - everything works without a hitch. I verified all configurations and compared system properties within the code running 8u77 versu 8u91. The only difference which makes or breaks my application is the JDK/JRE version

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u77

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
C:\Users\mgmagi>java -version
java version "1.8.0_77"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
html/jsp code is generated by servlet and corresponding web page properly displayed in browser
ACTUAL -
Exception thrown:
An error occurred at line: 1 in the generated java file
The type java.io.ObjectInputStream cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The only work around is to go back older JDK/JRE version and pray that the glitch will go away with the new release
