My server was using java 7 and is running fine in FIPS mode. Now we are upgrading to jre8 and the following exception is coming during the startup while loading cacerts.

The only modification i made is to add TLSv1.2 to jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3,TLSv1.2 since NSS is not supporting TLSv1.2.
I was able to load the same in jre7u72 builds and i see that the sunpkcs11.jar is modified in java 8. It shouldnt be a cacerts issue since i copied the java7 cacerts to java8 and the problem still remains.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Should it be a java bug?
=== EDIT ===
Opened a java 8 bug. I wrote a tool which ran against jre7 with success and failed with jre8.
