Error while running the ping federate agentless sample application

Question

I tried to run the sample application in the agentless integration kit. Login page is displayed, attributes are shown. But I get error in the page where the attributes are submitted. This is the error trace:

It seems you're running with Java 1.8 but the sample application is only supported on Java 1.7 so far.

Having said that, you can make the agentless samples run under 1.8 with a few minor modifications as noted below. This is currently on the list of things for Ping development to fix. It should be noted that the agentless kit states that 1.7 is the supported environment in the documentation.

The following jsps in agentless IK sample applications import both "java.util.*" and "org.apache.commons.codec.binary.*". The java.util.Base64 class was introduced in Java 1.8 which creates a conflict with org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.

AgentlessIntegrationKitSampleIdP/SubmitToSP.jsp AgentlessIntegrationKitSampleSP/ShowAttributes.jsp

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
...
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.codec.binary.*" %>

Explicitly importing the correct class will resolve this problem. For example:

<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
...
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64" %>
