Romain Manni-Bucau commented on CXF-7361:
-----------------------------------------
On Java 11 with last CXF version, CXFAuthenticator passes. Things changed quite
a bit since java 9 so not 100% sure why but I guess while CXF is an unnamed
module we are fine.
> Java 9 support for CXFAuthenticator
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-7361
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7361
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.1.11
> Reporter: Romain Manni-Bucau
> Assignee: Freeman Fang
> Priority: Major
>
> with java 9, Authenticator getDefault() should be used instead of field.get()
> (setAccessible fails) + unsafe should be used to define the class instead
> of the failing ClassLoader.defineClass.
> All that with reflection of course and in fallback mode probably since for
> java 8 it is better to not do it (or it is not available - getDefault()
> typically).
> Workaround ATM is to call CXFAuthenticator.addAuthenticator(); manually and
> ignore the exception, it initializes the instance then it doesn't fail but
> the feature is lost until it gets fixed as mentionned before.
