> Unable to implement GuacamoleHTTPTunnelServlet using different web server API

>                 Key: GUACAMOLE-1246
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1246
>             Project: Guacamole
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: guacamole-common
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
>         Environment: Java 11, Play Framework 2.7
>            Reporter: Christopher Speck
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> I'm investigating the possibility of hosting a Guacamole server using the 
> Play Framework ([https://www.playframework.com/]) which is not compatible 
> with HTTP Servlets. This requires re-implementing the 
> {{GuacamoleHTTPTunnelServlet}} as an endpoint compatible with the Play API. 
> The servlet implementation is not overly large and is a good candidate for 
> re-implementing for a different web server API however the servlet makes use 
> of {{GuacamoleHTTPTunnelMap}} as a means of managing known tunnels across 
> different requests. That class is package-private which means it cannot be 
> used outside of the guacamole-common module/source.
>  
> Workaround attempts:
>  * I've tried creating an {{org.apache.guacamole.servlet}} package in my 
> project  and making a new public class which extends 
> {{GuacamoleHTTPTunnelMap}} however this is not compatible with Java 9 module 
> system.
>  * I've tried copy/pasting the entire contents into its own class. This ends 
> up with the same module issues because internally this class uses 
> {{GuacamoleHTTPTunnel}} which is also package-private.
> Using either of these attempts results in {{IllegalAccessError}} during 
> runtime which I'm unsure if there's a way to work around. I've tried using 
> {{add-opens}}/{{add-exports}} when running the server however this does not 
> seem to be able to identify the right module for 
> {{guacamole-common-1.1.0.jar}}. Using the {{jar}} tool I've inspected the 
> {{guacamole-common-1.1.0.jar}} and it identifies using an automated module of 
> {{[email protected]}} however this line
> {{--add-opens guacamole.common/org.apache.guacamole.servlet=ALL-UNNAMED}}
> and this line
> {{--add-opens 
> [email protected]/org.apache.guacamole.servlet=ALL-UNNAMED}}
> Both result in this warning
> {{WARNING: Unknown module: guacamole.common specified to --add-opens}}
>  
> I think making {{GuacamoleHTTPTunnelMap}} public is a small and low-risk 
> change that should resolve the module issues and allow alternate server API 
> implementations.
