I am working on upgrading struts from 2.3.34 to 2.3.35 and I all assumed it will be fully backward compatible.
Replaced following .jar which is marked as essential and while bringing up WebApp in WAS, facing trouble with freemarker.jar (freemarker/core/_Java8Impl.class). Code is currently compiled against JDK 1.6 and JRE - 1.7 and while application is coming up facing below exception: [9/8/18 16:41:42:398 EDT] 00000042 ecs W com.xxx.ws.ecs.internal.scan.context.impl.ScannerContextImpl scanJAR unable to open input stream for resource freemarker/core/_Java8Impl.class in archive WEB-INF/lib/freemarker-2.3.28.jar java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.objectweb.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source) Seems like this class and .jar is Build against JDK1.8 and will it be problem for users below JDK/JRE 1.8 ? I see this version of freemarker is marked as dependency in version notes of struts, but can I continue to use freemarker-2.3.22.jar against struts 2.3.35? Is there any way to avoid scanning of this .jar alone or any other workaround to avoid above exception? Could you please help. -- Sent from: http://struts.1045723.n5.nabble.com/Struts-User-f3426046.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
