i did some test
Servoy 8.2 works fine with java 9 and the admin page
Servoy 7.2.10 in WAR export on a tomcat 8.5.9 also works fine
but Servoy 7.2.10 as the application server doesn't work
So it seems that this is a problem of the tomcat that we ship in Servoy 7.2.10
That is Tomcat 6.0.44
But if i just install that tomcat on my system and then put a 74 war on top of that then it works again fine.
So when i searched on then the difference is the compression setting:
application_server/server/conf/server.xml
has in the <connector section:
compression="4096"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/javascript,text/css"
if you remove that then it works.
So there seems to be a bug in tomcat 6.0.44 with the zip libs of java9 that you can't enable compression because then something wrong is send over the line.
i also tested this the latest 6.0.x (53) and there is see the same problem, so for 7 we can't really fix this. (only by removing those compression configuration)
