WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred

[Zoriontsu]

For a week now, the UniFi Network Application fails to start upon reboot. I have to manually retry starting the Add-On multiple times until it works.

As of August 8th, 2023 I am running the latest versions:

Home Assistant 2023.8.3 Supervisor 2023.08.1 Operating System 10.5 Frontend 20230802.1 - latest

The following message appears on the log:

[09:18:08] INFO: Now starting the UniFi Network Application... [09:18:08] INFO: Note: No add-on specific logs beyond this point. WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase (file:/usr/lib/unifi/lib/tomcat-embed-core-9.0.65.jar) to field java.io.ObjectStreamClass$Caches.localDescs WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase 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

Same error logged here. Even after multiple reboots and it finally loading, it then crashes nearly instantly after i log in (to try generate a backup to port my config over to a different machine).

Edit: The same error message appears on my lxc version and doesn't affect it from running, so that doesn't seem to be the cause of the addon crashing

Same problem here

Same problem here too.

I have the same issue since the 2023.8.0 update.

I was experiencing this issue, but on my laptop and not on the PC that I usually use to access my HA instance. Both are using Firefox (I tried with Edge on my laptop with the same result). I still get the error message in the log, but this seems to be a browser issue rather than an application issue, which appears to be running fine.

Could this be a HTTPS issue?

Also having this issue

Same here. Sometimes it is able to start, sometimes I see that error in the logs and it won't start.

@frenck (Excuse the direct tag)

about the warning: WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release I have been searching but have not been able to locate a date for the "Future" Release nor work on a patch. Do you have any idea?

The maintainers of org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase how do we go about informing them or can we "Asume" (Mother of all F*&^kups) that they already know.

Thanks a lot for pitching in if you can,

UPDATE: found it to be related to a 32 bit or 64bit OS. for reference for now if it works UI-Glenn of Ubiqity says it should not influence the current operations, but for some it apparently does matter:

Updated to 2.8.0 add-on which Frenck (Thx!) just released. 1st boot Log seems that it has fixed java related warnings.

The controller seems to working as expected.

These are INFO messages, I'm not sure if those need to be addressed though.
