---------------------------------------
Summary: tomcat session state management will not work on java 16
Key: GEODE-9468
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9468
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Bug
Components: http session
Reporter: Darrel Schneider
The class org.apache.geode.modules.session.catalina.DeltaSession calls
Field.setAccessible in a static block. It is getting access to a field in the
super class which was private in tomcat 7 (see GEODE-3434). Because of this
tomcat session state management will not work on java 16 (see
[https://softwaregarden.dev/en/posts/new-java/illegal-access-in-java-16/)]
unless jvm args are used to permit the call (for example
"--illegal-access=permit").
If we can drop support for tomcat 7 then this reflection would no longer be
needed. It might also be possible to only call setAccessible if the field is
private which would mean only tomcat 7 would not work on java 16.
