Zulu JDK 8 + TLS 1.3 support conflicts with Oracle JDK 8 /FISH-43

[DeCaMil]

Description

---

Using Oracle JDK 8 u231 to run 5.194 fails because the Oracle JVM does not support the -XX:+UseOpenJSSE option introduced by PAYARA-3997.

The min/max versions work with widely supported features, but not with per-vendor features. Perhaps the min/max notation needs to be extended to [min|max|vendor]. With the |vendor being optional and it's absence implying all vendors.

Expected Outcome

Updating the Java installation by a patch level (u221 to u231) should not prevent instances from starting.

Current Outcome

The instance fails to start.

Steps to reproduce (Only for bug reports)

1 - Start the domain using Oracle Java 1.8.0 u231

C:\payara5> java -version
java version "1.8.0_231"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_231-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.231-b11, mixed mode)

C:\payara5> bin\asadmin start-domain payaradomain

2 - Create a standalone instance

C:\payara> bin\asadmin create-instance test-instance

3 - Start the instance:

C:\payara5> bin\asadmin start-instance test-instance
remote failure: Could not start instance test-instance on node localhost-payaradomain (localhost).

Command failed on node localhost-payaradomain (localhost): CLI801 Instance is already synchronized
Attempting to start test-instance.... Please look at the server log for more details.....

To complete this operation run the following command locally on host localhost from the Payara Server install location C:\payara5:

    lib/nadmin  start-local-instance --node localhost-payaradomain --sync normal --timeout 120 test-instance
Command start-instance failed.

4 - Run the recommended command:
(The direction given is incorrect as there is no lib directory in the payara5 directory. It needs to be glassfish/lib/nadmin.)

C:\payara5> glassfish\lib\nadmin  start-local-instance --node localhost-payaradomain --sync normal --timeout 120 test-instance
Unable to create a system terminal, creating a dumb terminal (enable debug logging for more information)
Unable to create a system terminal, creating a dumb terminal (enable debug logging for more information)
CLI801 Instance is already synchronized
Waiting for test-instance to start .Error starting instance test-instance.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 1.
Before it died, it produced the following output:

Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Unrecognized VM option 'UseOpenJSSE'

Command start-local-instance failed.

Environment

• Payara Version: 5.194
• Edition: Web
• JDK Version: Oracle 1.8.0 u231
• Operating System: Windows Server 2016

Hi @DeCaMil,

We are aware of some problems related to the JVM option for the TLS 1.3 support and have already internal issue CUSTCOM-90 active for this.

I tried to reproduce your case with OpenJDK 8u232 but instance started successfully.

So you can either remove the option or add -XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions for the time being.

Hi @DeCaMil,

This issue should be fixed in the current release of the Payara Server Community edition.

Kind regards,
