[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-3842) Netty direct buffer detection broken due to missing module dependencies

Netty direct buffer detection broken due to missing module dependencies ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-3842 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3842 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: JMS Affects Versions: 8.1.0.Final, 9.0.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Seth Miller Assignee: Jeff Mesnil Fix For: 9.0.0.Beta1 When deploying Wildfly 8.x, you'll see this in the server.log: {code} INFO [io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent] Your platform does not provide complete low-level API for accessing direct buffers reliably. Unless explicitly requested, heap buffer will always be preferred to av oid potential system unstability. {code} Following this into netty, here: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/master/common/src/main/java/io/netty/... Down to here: https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/netty-4.0.15.Final/common/src/main/ja... We need access to sun.misc to see if direct buffers are available. Adding sun.misc to the netty module removes the log message, but if we TRACE on io.netty, there is one additional message: {code} 2014-09-09 13:58:35,512 FINE [io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent] -Dio.netty.noJavassist: false 2014-09-09 13:58:35,513 FINE [io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent] Javassist: unavailable 2014-09-09 13:58:35,513 FINE [io.netty.util.internal.PlatformDependent] You don't have Javassist in your class path or you don't have enough permission to load dynamically generated classes. Please check the configuration for better performance. {code} We can provide netty with a depends on Javassist to remove the FINE message about performance. Workaround: alter the module io/netty/main/module.xml to include the following {code} <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="io.netty"> <resources> <resource-root path="netty-all-4.0.15.Final.jar"/> </resources> <dependencies> <module name="sun.jdk"/> <module name="org.javassist"/> </dependencies> </module> {code}
