Illegal reflective access thrown when running Alfresco Repository CE on ECS

fabrice7

Hi all,

I am trying to run Alfresco Repository CE on Amazon Web Services ECS and I get the following error:

2020-09-08 15:50:30,566  INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [localhost-startStop-1] Starting 'Messaging' subsystem, ID: [Messaging, default]
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.apache.activemq.util.IntrospectionSupport (file:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/activemq-client-5.15.11.jar) to method sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.setHost(java.lang.String)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.apache.activemq.util.IntrospectionSupport
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

It looks like Alfresco just hangs after that.

I am using Alfresco Repository CE 6.3.0; it is running inside ECS and I am building my own Docker images based off this one:

https://hub.docker.com/r/alfresco/alfresco-content-repository-community

The JAVA_OPTS look like this:

Thanks a lot for any help!

Hi @kaynezhang ,

Thanks for your input. Actually, I found the problem: my security groups didn't allow the Alfresco Repository to connect to the AmazonMQ broker. I fixed that and it now moves a bit further. 

Thanks for your help!
