Workaround to make ghost4j compatible with JDKs >= 1.8u242 #69

Closed mehrentreich closed 3 years ago

mehrentreich commented 4 years ago

This is only a hacky workaround due to my limited knowledge of the codebase to satisfy the requirements of newer JDKs (see the hint in my commit messages).

I know there is a RemoteInvoke interface which correctly implements the required RMI java.rmi.Remote interface. Unfortunately a call to the PdfConverter.convert() method always picks the regular Invoke interface which then in turn fails with JDKs starting from version 1.8u242 because the RMI spec now requires interfaces which are used for RMI calls to implement java.rmi.Remote.

According to these release notes it seems that it previously worked by accident because this policy wasn't enforced before Java 1.8u242: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u241-relnotes-5813177.html

I'd appreciate if any of the project maintainers could come up with a better solution which addresses the root cause of this issue.

@zippy1978 looks fine for me. Will you be able and have time to increase the version and to deploy this to maven central?

Thx for reminding, I'll take a look into publishing it.
