Unable to access CloudPlatform Client

Question

I've installed Apache CloudStack 4.7.0.0 and after startup, when accessing the CloudPlatform Web Console, I get the following error:

HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: 
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

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 logs.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.24

Does anyone know why this would occur?

Cheers,

Answer 1

You need to be on 1.7 of Java. 1.8 is work in progress and you may encounter some issues there.

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-release-notes/en/4.7.0/upgrade/upgrade_notes.html

Consider using mailing lists if you need help.

Answer 2

So the answer was more of a workaround than a resolution. Downgrade the OpenJdk to version 1.8.0.77.

From this thread (The type java.io.ObjectInputStream cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files) I picked up that it may be a java issue so I reinstalled with the previous version of Open Jdk (1.8.0.77) and the CloudPlatform was able to compile the jsps.
