[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-2355) TCP_NIO2 fails under Java 8

Paul Ferraro created JGRP-2355: ---------------------------------- Summary: TCP_NIO2 fails under Java 8 Key: JGRP-2355 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2355 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 4.1.1 Reporter: Paul Ferraro Assignee: Bela Ban Because the 4.1.x releases are built with JDK11, I see the following at runtime when running under Java 8: {noformat} WARN [org.jgroups.protocols.TCP_NIO2] (TQ-Bundler-6,ejb,node-1) node-1: failed sending message to 127.0.0.1:7700: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.nio.ByteBuffer.clear()Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer; {noformat} The problematic code seems to be here: https://github.com/belaban/JGroups/blob/master/src/org/jgroups/blocks/cs/... In JDK8, Buffer.clear() was final and returned a Buffer object (hence the need for your code to cast). However, in JDK11 Buffer.clear() is no longer final, allowing subclasses to override the return type, which ByteBuffer indeed does (to return a ByteBuffer). However, since JGroups 4.1.x is built with JDK11, when running on Java 8, the method is not found. There are 2 ways to fix this: 1. Ensure 4.1.x releases are built using JDK8 (since source is still compatible with Java 8) 2. Cast java.io.ByteBuffer to java.nio.Buffer when invoking clear() to avoid the NoSuchMethodError. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v7.12.1#712002)
