Help request for Java exception

[David Aldrich]

I am seeing this Java exception trace for one of our declarative scripts. It happens on a Centos 7 machine. Please can anyone suggest the reason?

The exception started happening after a minor jdk upgrade:

java-1.8.0-openjdk-1:1.8.0.181-3.b13.el7_5.x86_64 -> java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.222.b10-1.el7_7.x86_64
