Tomcat seems to have released a 9.0.95 in just the past few months; it may do a better job of indicating which .class file it's not happy reading. Regardless, one of the classes required to compile your JSP
is represented by an invalid .class file somewhere in your application.

There is prey weird behaviour that we are observing. When we import a class in JSP that does not have any string + operations, it is working fine. But when the imported class contains these operations, it is failing. For example:

Working class files:

public class App {
public string getName(){
String name = "test**";
return name;
}
}
public class App {
public string getName(){
String name = "test**";
return "test".concat(name);
}
}

Non-working class file:

public class App {
public string getName(){
String name = "test**";
return name + "fail";
}
}

Unable to figure out what's causing this behaviour.

I'm not sure what's wrong but here's some very general information that may or may not be helpful:
- If you're using Eclipse 2024-09, please note that JDT dropped support for compiling for Java versions earlier than 8: https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.33/jdt.php#removed-support-for-java7-and-below
- The lines in your stack trace suggest that you're using a very old version of Jasper ("5.5.17.v200706111724").

We could not find any newer version of Jasper ("5.5.17.v200706111724") hence had to use it. Also I missed to mention that our application is OSGI based.
