Does struts 1.1 work on tomcat 8?

Question

I am upgrading tomcat server from tomcat7 to tomcat 8. But it seems struts 1.1 not working on tomcat 8. Does any one have any idea that struts 1.1 is not supported on tomcat 8.

Below is stack trace

The problem with the struts taglib I have included in jsp which were using JSP 1.1 whereas tomcat 8 support JSP2.3. Changed jsp and it is working now. Thanks for help
