Highlights

Classloader & Memory

OSGi

  • LDEV-6144 - CFMLEngineFactory.getFelix() returns unstarted Felix after clearing corrupted cache, causing NPE

Method Resolution

  • LDEV-6121 - ClazzDynamic.getMethod skips argument count check (self-comparison bug)
  • LDEV-6201 - Clazz.getMethod cache key missing class identity causes cross-class method pollution

Archives & Mappings

Great work.

We’ll get this on our sites that seemed to have weird Java issues with the snapshots and let you know.

@Zackster is this version meant to still output "set new PhysicalClassLoader with key … " logs at info level ?
I dont’ see any in our application log since the updated version deployed.

4

log level was reduced to TRACE, less log spam

OK, thought as much.

Is there a way to bring out just that message in the logging without enabling trace for anything else ? I dont’ know enough about how to configure Lucee’s logging to know the answer.

Initial impressions are good, we don’t get the weird class not found issues we had from the snapshots.

We had a couple of overnight failures that look like further Java oddness, and as with the other issues, when retrying this morning, work fine.
The server had been restarted for a deployment between the overnight failures and the manual tests.

Anyone else with lots of Java integrations seeing this ?

The error was from our Amazon Step Functions connectors, and point at a build() call for a StartExecutionRequest class:

No matching method for com.amazonaws.services.stepfunctions.AWSStepFunctionsClient.startExecution(com.amazonaws.services.stepfunctions.model.StartExecutionRequest) found.

The constructor does:

variables.stepFunctionsClient = createObject('java','software.amazon.awssdk.services.sfn.SfnClient')
	.builder()
	.region( application.__aws_region )
	.build()

Then each call looks like

var sfnInput = serializeJSON(arguments.input);

// a StartExecutionRequest
var req = createObject('java','software.amazon.awssdk.services.sfn.model.StartExecutionRequest')
		.builder()
		.stateMachineArn(arguments.arn)
		.input(sfnInput.toString())
		.build();

// a StartExecutionResult
var res = variables.stepFunctionsClient.startExecution( req );

var exe_id = res.executionArn()
