JSP compilation fails with Java 9
We are assessing Java 9(early access) and JSP compilation is badly broken with Java 9. Even basic java objects(java.lang.Object) are not accessible while compilation. Appears to be because of jigsaw(modular)
Any solution or alternative to this problem ?

Tomcat 9.0.0.M15
ecj-4.6.1.jar
With Java 9 build 146 JSP's are broken.
Surprisingly with Java 9 build 151, same tomcat started compiling and executing JSPs very well :)
Now that’s called sun chasers

last remaining issue. I can confirm what was said: JDT doesn't have modules support, and it doesn't have a planning for it from what I saw. There have been some significant updates to the modules lately, so it would be unfair to blame the JDT people at this point.

As far as I am aware, the JDT compiler that Jasper uses by default does not yet support Java 9.
You should be able to configure Jasper to use javac for Java 9.
From memory (I tested this some time ago), a basic JSP worked with Java 9. Whether more complex JSPs might hit some Jigsaw related issues is TBD. Worst case, you should be able to work-around them with command line options when starting Tomcat.
I've looked at Java 9 support a couple of times but partly because it is still in a state of flux and partly because the JDT support was not there I haven't taken it very far.

1. Tomcat full version number =?
2. ecj.jar version (in Tomcat's lib directory) =?
3. Does it work with a later version of ecj.jar? It is "JDT Core Batch Compiler"
Downloadable from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.6.2-201611241400/
(Tomcat 8.5 ships with 4.5.1, Tomcat 9 uses 4.6.1, latest release is 4.6.2, but there is also a milestone build of 4.7 available)
Best regards,
