The handle server on the DSpace 6.3 has stopped working and each time I run a start I its not starting

Checking the error logs

in [dspace]/handle-sever/error.log.xxxx, this what I get

"2022/11/28 02:58:59 SAST" 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...

in [dspace]/log/handle-server.log, I get

"2022/11/28 12:06:19 SAST" 25 Rotating log files
Error: null
(see the error log for details.)

Shutting down...

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here?

Thanks
Nason

Hi Nason,

This is related to the latest version of the OpenJDK 8 release, which removed some functionality that the handle server requires.

Alan Orth has some more details and notes on how to downgrade this for a Deb-based system: https://groups.google.com/g/dspace-tech/c/PqjfA5mqG4w/m/FhxI5oXhFwAJ?pli=1

Cheers

Kim
