No this is java 21 for the same reason that Hugi mentions. DCEVM
I have the same error where I used your template to create the WO
Server. On my internal Ubuntu and external AWS
Both machines have installed Java 21.
Ideas???

Hi Ted,
Are you using Java 25? GetPropertyAction no longer exists, but Hugi
shows you how to replace it:

I have added to the Default VM Arguments --add-exports

and it is failing with:

Looks like the same issue, so I added to Additional Arguments:
-Duser.name=ec2 --add-exports
java.base/sun.security.action=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports
java.base/sun.util.calendar=ALL-UNNAMED
What am I missing?
