Completely unable to get this appender to work - need help!

[ErnoRubik]

Hey there. I'm not sure what we could be doing wrong; I've gone through every bit of documentation and every walkthrough about this sqs appender I can find, and I still can't get it to work.

Relevant data points:

• We have an existing app that is presently using a JMS appender to send messages to ApacheMQ. This costs us way more than SQS would, hence the desire to switch. (The scalability is nice, too)
• I have added the maven dependency, as described in your docs and elsewhere, and call for version 1.1.0.
• I have configured the appender as described in your docs.
• Regarding SQS / IAM config, I have verified that all of this is setup correctly by successfully sending an SQS message from the command-line on the machine on which the java application is running using the same access key. (Sorry for the run-on sentence there)
• When I run the application and trigger an event which fires off a log message, I get the following in the log:

  WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
  WARNING: Illegal reflective access by com.amazonaws.util.XpathUtils (file:/var/resultflow/shared/aws-java-sdk-core-1.12.340.jar) to method com.sun.org.apache.xpath.internal.XPathContext.getDTMManager()
  WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of com.amazonaws.util.XpathUtils
  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

I have taken a look at the aws-java-sdk-core maven repo page, and it doesn't appear that there's anything (significantly) newer.

What am I missing?

Thank you for reading and your help! --Garrett

This issue is still plaguing us. Any ideas? Seen this problem before?
