Lukasz Lech commented on CXF-7361:
----------------------------------
Wow, over a year and no reaction. Is the project dead?
Unfortunately, other Apache projects like Tika depends on it...
Java 10 tolerates such misuse with warnings, but with subsequent versions, it's
likely not to work at all.
It should be reported as bug, not improvement.
> Java 9 support for CXFAuthenticator
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-7361
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7361
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.1.11
> Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau
> Priority: Major
>
> with java 9, Authenticator getDefault() should be used instead of field.get()
> (setAccessible fails) + unsafe should be used to define the class instead
> of the failing ClassLoader.defineClass.
> All that with reflection of course and in fallback mode probably since for
> java 8 it is better to not do it (or it is not available - getDefault()
> typically).
> Workaround ATM is to call CXFAuthenticator.addAuthenticator(); manually and
> ignore the exception, it initializes the instance then it doesn't fail but
> the feature is lost until it gets fixed as mentionned before.
