"org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP" exception while accessing the application

Issue

We are using Tomcat 8 component. When we access the application, we are getting below exception:

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP: 

An error occurred at line: [63] in the generated java file: [/opt/middleware/tomcat/instances/cloudapp/work/Catalina/localhost/rde-14a-automation/org/apache/jsp/home_jsp.java]
The method getDispatcherType() is undefined for the type HttpServletRequest

Stacktrace:
    org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:102)
    org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:198)

    org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:361)

We have two Tomcat nodes, on other tomcat node the same war file is working absolutely fine. Therefore it does not look like an issue with application. The Dev team suspect that it is Tomcat issue.
