Unable to compile JSP file with JDK1.8.0_92

Question

We have a legacy JavaEE application running on JBoss 6.1. When running JBoss6 with Java 1.8.0_92 we are getting the following error. Please help me resolve or give some hints on this error.

16:49:32,888 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/webSSO].[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP:

An error occurred at line: 1 in the generated java file
The type java.io.ObjectInputStream cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files

Note: It works fine upto (Java 1.8.0_77)
