Has anyone got Struts 2.5 to work for Java 11 or anything above Java 8? I have a project that I was trying to migrate to Java 11 using 2.5.18. I have it compiling, but then ran into an issue with the ASM library. I am using the REST plugin, which is dependent on the convention plugin. The convention plugin has the dependency to ASM, and I am getting the error mentioned in this ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/WW/issues/WW-4866?filter=allopenissues
I have tried Java 10 with ASM 6.0 mentioned in the comments and ASM 7.0 with Java 11. Both produced the same IllegalArgumentException already mentioned. A quick glance at the source seemed to indicate that ASM changed the constructor on the class that is being called to accept byte[] instead of InputStream. My main goal in all of this was to try and ensure we would be running on a supported JDK as support for 8 is about to be up. From what I understand, no one from the Java community has committed to back porting security patches for 8. Would anyone be willing to share what they are doing with Java 8 in the enterprise environment if we have to stay on it for Struts applications? Are you purchasing, or already have oracle support?
