RHEL: Failed to load native library jlinenative

[hink084]

Brief Summary

On RHEL 9.4 with JDK v21.0.5+11, when upgrading from Payara v6.2024.7 to v6.2024.8, I started receiving the following error when attempting to execute the asadmin command: Failed to load native library: jlinenative ... java.langUnsatisfiedLinkError ... failed to map segment from shared object ...

...for the full error, see the Current Outcome section.

This issue originated when JLine was upgraded from v3.21.0 to v3.26.3 in Payara v6.2024.8 via Pull Request #6827
This issue still exists in Payara v6.2024.11 with JLine v3.27.0

Expected Outcome

I would expect the asadmin command to prompt as normal:

Current Outcome

Error: v6.2024.8

Error: v6.2024.11

Reproducer

I think this issue is ultimately a JLine issue but exists when attempting to start Payara. The issue is present because the /tmp directory is mounted with the "noexec" option as is advised for security purposes. The workaround is to inadvisably remount the /tmp directory without the "noexec" option or more advisable, start Payara with a custom temp directory. You can start Payara with a custom temp directory by modifying the asadmin file to utilize the -Djava.io.tmpdir= JVM option.

Disabling JLine as described in the Payara Community Documentation has no effect.

Hello @hink084,

I tried reproducing it under Windows 11 and Ubuntu under WSL using JDK 21, I found no issues so far. I will set up a VM using RHEL 9.4 and return with an update regarding this report.

Kind regards,
Felix Ifrim

@felixif if you get a RHEL 9 VM running, check to see if the /tmp directory is mounted with the noexec option. I believe the noexec option is causing the issues for JLine. You can check with the findmnt command.
