This issue summarizes the current known issues associated with running OMERO.server under a JDK 17 environment and discusses a set of workarounds and proposed changes.

State of Java support

As of OMERO.server 5.6.10, the requirement table of the OMERO documentation 1 defines the current state of Java support. JDK 11 LTS released in September 2018 is the recommendation, JDK 17 LTS released in September 2021 is marked as unsupported and JDK 21 LTS which has been released in September 2023 is not yet captured.

In this table, upstream support for JDK 11 LTS is listed as ending in October 2024 i.e. 6 months from now. The reality is slightly more complex as this timeline largely depends on the OpenJDK build e.g. Oracle JDK 11 is already in extended support 2, the RedHat build of OpenJDK will enter Extended Life Cycle Support in October 3 while Azul Zulu will maintain builds of OpenJDK until 2032 4.

Introducing proper support for Java 17 (and possibly 21) in 2024 would give the community the option either to stay on JDK 11 or upgrade to a more recent JDK LTS version depending on their environment and requirements.

Encapsulation errors and workaround

The bulk of the issues associated with running OMERO.server on JDK 17 are related to the strong encapsulation introduced in Java 16 initially defined in JEP403 5. Various resources are available which describe these changes and their impact on downstream code e.g. 6.

Trying to start OMERO.server-5.6.10-ice36 in a JDK 21 environment on Ubuntu 22.04 results in the following exception

Setting omero.jvmcfg.append to --add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-exports java.naming/com.sun.jndi.ldap=ALL-UNNAMED is sufficient to start OMERO.server and perform some minimal workflows: login, import, view, delete...

Minimal testing also indicated the changes above are sufficient to start OMERO.server in a JDK 21 LTS environment.

Dependency upgrades

While the paragraph above describes configuration workarounds that can be used immediately to deploy OMERO.server in a JDK 17 environment, a more robust approach would be to update the underlying libraries to versions that are not relying on features now prevented by the upstream Java changes.

Bitronix Transaction Manager

Bitronix Transaction Manager (btm) is a direct dependency of the omero-server component 7. This library is an implementation of the Java Transaction API 1.1 (JTA). Up to OMERO.server 5.4.x, the dependency was using org.codehaus.btm:btm. In OMERO 5.5.0 and during the transition to decoupled components & the Gradle build system, this dependency was changed to com.github.marcus-nl.btm:btm:3.0.0-mk1.

The latter artifact comes from a fork of https://github.com/scalar-labs/btm which was inactive at the time but it looks like recent activity has started again on this repository. The state of these different existing implementations should be reviewed to assess whether we could upgrade this dependency to a recent version compatible with the JDK encapsulation changes.

Spring LDAP core

spring-ldap-core is a transitive dependency of the omero-server component through org.springframework.security:spring-security-ldap 8. The usage of internal com.sun.jndi.ldap classes was fixed upstream in 2.3.4.RELEASE 9. Upgrading manually spring-ldap-core to this version and reverting the --add-exports java.naming/com.sun.jndi.ldap=ALL-UNNAMED from the configuration above was sufficient to start the server.

At minimum, it should be possible to upgrade org.springframework.security:spring-ldap-core but this is probably a good opportunity to upgrade spring-security-ldap and review the state of the entire set of Spring dependencies as we have a mixture of versions.

As discussed on 30/04

  • Update documentation with workaround to allow the server to start and run on Java 17+
  • Adjust CI infrastructure to test the the workaround at regular intervals See Java option devspace#217
