When I generate a war file and start it local via tomcat, everything works fine. Why can the method in the exception above not be found, when I run this war-file on server? I'm working with eclipse, gradle and vaadin 7.

Vaadin Spring 1.x is not compatible with Vaadin Framework 8.x Either upgrade Vaadin Spring to version 2.1 or downgrade Vaadin Framework to 7.x.

The most likely reason could be, that your server is not cleaned between deployments, and hence there are multiple versions of same jars, and classloader fails.

Check encrypted password: org.jasypt.exceptions.EncryptionOperationNotPossibleException

i try to check the password, that i encrypt before but i get an exception and i don't know why.
here the method, that i use to encrypt the password:
#Service("XEncryptor")
public class XEncryptor {
private ConfigurablePasswordEncryptor configurablePasswordEncryptor;
//some parameters and init methods
public String encryptPassword(String password){
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setAlgorithm("SHA-1");
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setPlainDigest(true);
return configurablePasswordEncryptor.encryptPassword(password);
}
// i use this one to check the password
public boolean checkPassword(String inputPassword, String encryptedPassword){
return configurablePasswordEncryptor.checkPassword(inputPassword, encryptedPassword);
}
}
into a controller i try to check the password before i perform a login. I call the checkPassword from the XEncryptor's service but i doesn't work.
Here the call:
xEncryptor.checkPassword(password, user.getPassword());
password = user.getPassword();
//do login ...
when i comment the checkPassword, the login will being performed successfully.
the first parameter (password) is what the user send by login and the second one is the encrypted password what i get from the database.
i encrypt the password in a registration process with this line of code:
password = xEncryptor.encryptPassword(password);
user.setPassword(password);
The encryption works successfully.
Here the error log:

Any ideas?
Thanks for helping.

From http://www.jasypt.org/api/jasypt/1.8/org/jasypt/util/password/ConfigurablePasswordEncryptor.html :
The required steps to use it are:
Create an instance (using new).
Configure if needed with the setX() methods.
Perform the desired encryptPassword(String) or checkPassword(String, String) operations.
I don't see how a new instance is created, but since you don't get a NullPointerException this shouldn't be the problem.
The EncryptionOperationNotPossibleException usually refers to missing configuration.
If possible, you should do the configuration once (after creating the new encryptor instance) instead of every method call...
configurablePasswordEncryptor = new ConfigurablePasswordEncryptor();
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setAlgorithm("SHA-1");
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setPlainDigest(true);
Otherwise, in your checkPassword method, you probably want to set algorithm and digest mode too:
public boolean checkPassword(String inputPassword, String encryptedPassword){
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setAlgorithm("SHA-1");
configurablePasswordEncryptor.setPlainDigest(true);
return configurablePasswordEncryptor.checkPassword(inputPassword, encryptedPassword);
}

java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved

I am running Eclipse Mars 4.5.1. I have Tomcat 7 and 8 both installed. I have Java 7 and 8 JDKs installed.
I've imported a project which is supposed to run on Tomcat 8 and Java 8. (I have it working just fine on another computer, and pulled it over to this computer + workspace to work on it from another location.)
I've created a Server config which uses Apache Tomcat v8.0 runtime environment, using JRE jdk1.8.0_66 (which is not the workspace default JRE, in case it matters), and has my project as its sole module.
The project's build path Libraries includes JRE System Library [JavaSE-1.8] and Apache Tomcat v8.0 [Apache Tomcat v8.0], plus Maven Dependencies.
The project has Dynamic Web Module 3.1, Java 1.8, and Javascript 1.0 facets.
The project starts up and executes some controller code, but when it goes to compile any JSP, I get a series of exceptions, the most helpful of which indicates that The type java.util.Map$Entry cannot be resolved.
I've tried switching everything to Java 7 (the default JRE for my workspace), which made no difference. I've tried various changes, but nothing I've tried has allowed java.util.Map to load. What am I doing wrong?

There is a NullPointerException on line no 145 of your code .
I think that application.getRealPath("images") is null .
To be precise what you can do is find the converted servlet code for this JSP see the exact line number .
From the code above there are more than one places that can through a NPE .

I have solved this by adding jsp-2.3.1 jar, servlet3.1 jar. Since Tomcat 8 implements servlet3.1, jsp2.3 , I needed to upgrade my old jar files.

I debug the tomcat8 source and found that tldCache inside the EmbeddedServletOption is null. This is been set by the onStartup method in the JasperInitializer
What can I do to make sure that it get invoke
or how can I manually invoke org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperInitializer.onStartup
during web app startup?
I'm embedding tomcat 8 inside the application.

The solution to this issue is somewhat hidden and doesn't seem to be documented but it can sometimes be solved with one line of code.
context.addServletContainerInitializer(new JasperInitializer(), null);
I admit the server is slow to start once this is added, but it is now functional.
