Illegal reflective access thrown when running Alfresco Repository CE on ECS

Hi all,

I am trying to run Alfresco Repository CE on Amazon Web Services ECS and I get the following error:

2020-09-08 15:50:30,566  INFO  [management.subsystems.ChildApplicationContextFactory] [localhost-startStop-1] Starting 'Messaging' subsystem, ID: [Messaging, default]
WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.apache.activemq.util.IntrospectionSupport (file:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/activemq-client-5.15.11.jar) to method sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.setHost(java.lang.String)
WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.apache.activemq.util.IntrospectionSupport
WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations
WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release

It looks like Alfresco just hangs after that.

I am using Alfresco Repository CE 6.3.0; it is running inside ECS and I am building my own Docker images based off this one:

https://hub.docker.com/r/alfresco/alfresco-content-repository-community

The JAVA_OPTS look like this:

Thanks a lot for any help!

These are not errors ,they are just warnings.
Plase ensure that you have started activemq,or you can try to add following java OPTS to disable messging start check.
-Dmessaging.subsystem.autoStart=true

By the way why do you choose noindex subsystem?

Hi @kaynezhang ,

Thanks for your input. Actually, I found the problem: my security groups didn't allow the Alfresco Repository to connect to the AmazonMQ broker. I fixed that and it now moves a bit further.

Thanks for your help!
