[0.10.2] Reflections do not detect classes with Java 11.0.16+ about reflections HOT 6 OPEN

@slovi Your workaround works for me! Thanks for that! :)
I hope, the 0.10.3 version will be released soon to remove that hack^^

Same issue on openJDK 17.0.5 ... scan does not work with this version. After downgrade to 17.0.1 scanning works fine.

After some investigation I found out, that the problem is in JboosDir class which throws ClassCastException instead of returning correct instance of Vfs.Dir class.

JDK 17.0.5 extended content-type list (added application/jar-archive) which causes this ClassCastException in the end.

I used this workaround for now:

Vfs.addDefaultURLTypes(new CustomVfsUrlType());

CustomVfsUrlType:

    static class CustomVfsUrlType implements Vfs.UrlType {

        @Override
        public boolean matches(URL url) {
            return url.getProtocol().equals("vfs");
        }

        @Override
        public Vfs.Dir createDir(URL url) throws Exception {
            var virtualFile = url.openConnection().getContent();
            if (virtualFile instanceof VirtualFile) {
                return JbossDir.createDir(url);
            } else {
                Constructor<JbossDir> constructor = JbossDir.class.getDeclaredConstructor(VirtualFile.class);
                constructor.setAccessible(true);
                return constructor.newInstance(VFS.getChild(VFSUtils.toURI(url)));
            }
        }
    }

This is definitely not clean approach. The method JbossDir.createDir should be redefined, but I'm not sure how to get VirtualFile from VirtualJarFileInputStream.

So, it has something to do with this issue? #395

Then, a commit 7ccde6e and PR #396 were made. A merge is planned for 0.10.3 #418.

from reflections.

Yes, It seems that commit 7ccde6e will fix also this issue.

I yesterday forked the project and tried the suggested bugfix 7ccde6e for issues (#395, #440, #427) However it did not help the error still occurs. Thus I completely removed the reflection lib and replaced the functionality with something else...

Maybe interesting for you to solve the issue:

I had a similar problem
java.lang.ClassCastException: class org.jboss.vfs.VirtualJarInputStream cannot be cast to class org.jboss.vfs.VirtualFile
in the context of Java 11.0.20 and WildFly Core 10.1.18.Final-redhat-00001 (in a Redhat EAP 7.3.6 GA).
Instead of
VirtualFile virtualFile = (VirtualFile) url.openConnection().getContent();
I used
VirtualFile virtualFile = org.jboss.vfs.VFS.getChild(url.toURI());
(no cast necessary)
and it seems to do the job...

In Redhat EAP 7.4.11 GA (WildFly Core 15.0.26.Final-redhat-00001) the ClassCastException does not occur
(there, url.openConnection().getContent() is a VirtualFile;
however, org.jboss.vfs.VFS.getChild(url.toURI()) still works there as well).
