Exception in "publish" and "reserveDoi" with ipt 2.5.2 on tomcat 9 and java 11

[vjrj]

Following these java 11 issues #1687 we are having problems after upgrading the ipt from 2.5.0 to 2.5.2, in an ubuntu 20.04 running tomcat 9 and java 11.

During publish:

ERROR 02-Dec-2021 08:15:53 [org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.DefaultDispatcherErrorHandler] - Exception occurred during processing request: Method "publish" failed for object org.gbif.ipt.action.manage.OverviewAction@4c87c9ef
ognl.MethodFailedException: Method "publish" failed for object org.gbif.ipt.action.manage.OverviewAction@4c87c9ef

and with reserveDoi:

ERROR 02-Dec-2021 08:51:33 [org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.DefaultDispatcherErrorHandler] - Exception occurred during processing request: Method "reserveDoi" failed for object org.gbif.ipt.action.manage.OverviewAction@4add0425

We were using tomcat 9, and java 11, and ipt 2.5.0 without these issues.

I'll try some of the workarounds described here:

This patch solved the issue for us (let's see if we didn't introduce any other issue):
