Hi Christopher, I can confirm that in tomcat 8.0.23 the application does not work with or without ##'s in the file name, however in tomcat 8.0.15 it works without the hashes.
I compiled a list of my tests and the exceptions that occurred, they are different in tomcat 7 and tomcat 8: I have them in an excel spreadsheet if they are of any use to you but I dont know if attachments are allowed on these emails? I have managed to get this working now though thankfully and it was actually down to something quite simple... I deployed a standard JSP file and this compiled ok so I narrowed it down to just being a Tiles issue. My pom used to have version 3.0.3 defined and when I upgraded this to 3.0.5 the issues have gone away in both tomcat 7 and tomcat 8 using java 7 or java 8 and it also work without issue in tomcat 8.0.23. If only I had tried that first! Thanks to everyone who replied offering help.
