Cannot cross launch to Smart Reporting after upgrade Tomcat

Newer Tomcat out of the box configurations create problems with the MidTier cross launch showing the following error in the MIdTier log:
 

Caused by: javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=PARSER_ERROR: 
Problem parsing 'http://<host>:<port>/SmartReporting/YFErroPage?wsdl'.:org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: 
The element type "br" must be terminated by the matching end-tag.

These versions require JAX-WS API to be enabled.

• For Tomcat 8, version 8.5.75 and newer.
• For Tomcat 9, version 9.0.58 and newer.

Steps to enable it:

1- Stop Smart Reporting service

2- Open the web.xml file located at: 

Bundle Tomcat:
[SmartReportingInstall]/appserver/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF
External Tomcat:
[TomcatInstall]/webapps/SmartReporting/WEB-INF

3- Remove the comment of the JAX-WS API:

From:

 <!-- Uncomment this section to enable JAX-WS Web Services. Java 1.6+ only 
 <listener>
        <listener-class>
                com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
        </listener-class>
  </listener>

  <servlet>
        <servlet-name>WebServices</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServlet
        </servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>WebServices</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/webservices/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

-->

to:

 <!-- Uncomment this section to enable JAX-WS Web Services. Java 1.6+ only -->

 <listener>
        <listener-class>
                com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener
        </listener-class>

  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>WebServices</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/webservices/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
