            You can downgrade the JDK back to the previous version. I would suggest upgrade crowd for security improvements.

            Hello,

            Tomcat compression is disabled by default as a workaround for this issue in Crowd 3.0.2. A proper fix is coming in Crowd 3.1.0.

            Best regards,
            Patryk Petrowski

            Though the workaround helps move past this issue, more people upgrading to Java 8 update 151+ will notice this problem so it would help to get this bug resolved and fix released.
