Ehcache and Tomcat 8 incompatibilities?

I have a webapp configured with a webfilter that uses ehcache. Everything worked fine until I got to Tomcat 8.0.15. The following error is preventing my application from starting:

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXException: null:7: Element <cache> does not allow attribute "maxBytesLocalDisk".

Here is my ehcache config:

<ehcache xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ehcache.org/ehcache.xsd" updateCheck="true" monitoring="autodetect" dynamicConfig="true">
<diskStore path="java.io.tmpdir"/>
<cache name="CachingRestFilter"
       maxBytesLocalHeap="100M"
       maxBytesLocalDisk="1G"           
       eternal="false"
       memoryStoreEvictionPolicy="LFU">
       <persistence strategy="localTempSwap"/>      
 </cache>
</ehcache>

      

        
        
        
      

    

The same application works with Tomcat 7.0.54. Is this a Tomcat issue?
