Axon Framework

Hello,

I’m migrating my application from java 1.8 to java 17.
I’m using axon 4.6.1

I get this error

Hi,

The easiest would be to move to Jackson for serialization. While it’s possible to work around reflection issues with XStream if needed. There is some interesting information in this Github issue.

Hi,
to get around the problem, i set this properties into jvm argment :
–add-opens java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED or use Jackson for serialization
