What version of the JDK did you apply?
We have definite known issues with some versions of Java 8. Specifically versions 1.8.0_91 and later.
They tend to prevent the application from starting at all, but we have seen other oddities that disappeared by downgrading the JDK version.
Please see the following Knowledge Document TEC1563662
If you continue to have the problem using an earlier version of Java 8 prior to _91 please engage the support team for further investigation.
