Handle server failing to start

[Mumanyi, Bravismore]

Dear Dspace Community

I am still on Dspace 6.3 and my handle server is failing to start.

All I get from the handle error log is:

"2023/05/24 03:09:01 CAT" 25 Started new run.

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException

        at java.lang.Runtime.runFinalizersOnExit(Runtime.java:287)

        at java.lang.System.runFinalizersOnExit(System.java:1059)

        at net.handle.server.Main.initialize(Main.java:124)

        at net.handle.server.Main.main(Main.java:75)

Shutting down...

I have tried re-generating the config with no success.

Any pointers?

Hi Bravismore

It could be related to this:

This problem is related to the handle server after an upgrade of the JDK. Dr Balnaves has released a patched handle server, which is available here:

https://release.prosentient.com.au/handle62/handle.jar.gz

What I did was:

download the handle.jar.gz: `wget https://release.prosentient.com.au/handle62/handle.jar.gz`

unzip it: `gzip -d handle.jar.gz`

list all the instances of handle-6.2.jar in /dspace/webapps: `find /dspace/ -name handle-6.2.jar`

copy the new handle.jar over them: e.g.: `cp handle.jar /dspace/lib/handle-6.2.jar`

restart the handle server: `#systemctl restart handled.service`

check the log: `tail -f /dspace/log/handle-server.log`

Much appreciated Sean.

Will follow your advice.

CNRI had suggested java downgrade to any version earlier than 1.8.0_352.
