Upgrade to Version 9.0 and Higher

“Illegal type in constant pool” Error

Description

This error can appear for result matrixes and is caused by a new security feature introduced in JDK 17, which does not allow combining different class version numbers.

How to Avoid This Issue

Upgrade to the latest Pricefx 9.0.x version where a workaround has been implemented that is adding JVM parameters to open up security manager to access those fields.

A permanent solution will be available in one of the next releases.

How to Avoid This Issue

“Too many new instances” Error

Description

In a shared instance, it is necessary to limit the resource usage in a calculation logic (the number of object instances) and this limit is set in pricefx-config.xml with the default being 500:

<maxInstances>500</maxInstances>

In version 9.1.0, a bug about verification of the instance count was fixed: objects created via methods of the api binding were not actually triggering an error when the limit was reached.

This change may cause some calculation logics stop working and ending in an error.

How to Avoid This Issue

Upgrade to version 9.1.3 where this bug fix is reverted. Your logic will work again even if the instance count limit has been exceeded.

A permanent solution for this issue will be decided and implemented in the 10.0 version.
