Primefaces 13 LTS issues

[nhunter506-sketch]

We are attempting to use the 13.0.20-LTS version of Primefaces LTS, previously we were using 13.0.0.
But I am getting this java 9 compatibility error when I run the application – compile passes. We are using Open JDK 1.8.

I set up my web.xml with the values;

<context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.lts.LICENSE_KEY</param-name>
    <param-value>********************</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.lts.PASS_KEY</param-name>
    <param-value>*****************</param-value>
  </context-param>

[tandraschko]

last comment looks like nice generated AI text.

nevertheless, i will fix it for the upcoming release @nhunter506-sketch!

[nhunter506-sketch]

Thanks @tandraschko . Is there an ETA on the upcoming release?

[tandraschko]

need to talk with the team first but maybe next week

[tandraschko]

we have another fix for 13.x already, i will do a release for you.

[tandraschko]

please try: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/org.primefaces/primefaces/13.0.21-LTS

[nhunter506-sketch]

That works. Thanks! I did have to change the web.xml to use without .lts and no password though.

<context-param>
    <param-name>primefaces.LICENSE_KEY</param-name>
    <param-value>***********</param-value>
  </context-param>

otherwise I get the same error with ByteBuffer

[nhunter506-sketch]

Can I reopen this? As soon as I open dev tools I get the red banner at the top of the screen saying my license is invalid. How do I get rid of that? We have an LTS license.

[tandraschko]

Please contact the support mail

[tandraschko]

i tried your license keys and it works fine for me on java8:

[nhunter506-sketch]

I get the ByteBuffer error at runtime.

[tandraschko]

can you try corretto?
As i said, i cant replicate this with primefaces-test (13.x branch), the newest LTS and running with: mvn clean jetty:run

if you check Java8, the method exists:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/Buffer.html#position-int-

our code looks like this before:

byteBuffer.position(IV_LENGTH_BYTE);

now its:

            ((Buffer) byteBuffer).position(IV_LENGTH_BYTE);

to make sure, its using the method from buffer as java9 introduces a overwritten method in ByteBuffer

[tandraschko]

also please double check
the new bytecode clearly has:

java/nio/Buffer� �position� �(I)Ljava/nio/Buffer;

your exception says that it looks for

java.nio.ByteBuffer.position(I)Ljava/nio/ByteBuffer;
