I was experimenting with bootsfaces-1.4.1 on wildfly 17 , received:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.jboss.as.server.deployment.reflect.ClassReflectionIndex (jar:file:/C:/Wildfly/wildfly-17.0.1.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/as/server/main/wildfly-server-9.0.2.Final.jar!/) to field java.util.Date.gcal

For details, please see the JBoss forum post: https://developer.jboss.org/message/990456?et=watches.email.thread#990456

The combination of the bootsfaces META-INF/faces-config.xml


java.util.Date as current datetime available by #{now}. ]]>

now
java.util.Date
request

Causes the JBoss server deployment to attempt to treat java.util.Date as a managed bean, which then causes java-11 to issue illegal-access warnings.

Thanks to JBoss developer, Jaikiran Pai for the root cause investigation support.

My $0.1
Reconsider #Now use of a long deprecated Date class?
Update bootsfaces to a JPMS/JDK-11 ready version, and test with Wildfly.
Publish some doc/info on intended future support for JPMS/jdk-11, I couldn't find anything relevant.

Kind regards

@StephenDoody Please have a look at the current developer version 1.4.2-SNAPSHOT. I've removed #{now} yesterday because OmniFaces provides the same bean, only better.

@stephanrauh Please verify which maven repo holds that published artifact? could not locate it, got: Could not find artifact net.bootsfaces:bootsfaces:pom:1.4.2-SNAPSHOT in Maven Central (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)

<dependency> <groupId>net.bootsfaces</groupId> <artifactId>bootsfaces</artifactId> <version>1.4.2-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency>

[stephanrauh]

It's in the snapshot directory of Maven Central. Try this one:

	<repositories>
		<repository>
			<id>central</id>
			<url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
			<releases>
				<enabled>false</enabled>
			</releases>
			<snapshots>
				<enabled>true</enabled>
			</snapshots>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

@stephanrauh
Yep, that did it, no illegal access warnings deploying to Wildfly17 running on AWS Corretto OpenJDK-11

Please advise when the change becomes permanent.

Thank you for the prompt response.

Kind Regards
Steve

We solved the issue by "remove undocumented bean #{now}" #1086

We recommend using the following third library:
