Hi Christian,

thanks for the observation. With 8.0, we switched to Java 7 and
java.nio, so it could be that the check for finding the application
directory fails.

I just looked at the stack trace, and I wondered if the error does
really break your code, or if it simply output to stderr (due to the
catch clause, see [1])?

Feedback from other Tomcat users is appreciated,
Christian
