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.

Paul
