[jira] [Commented] (VELOCITY-984) Velocity calls method of abstract superclass leading to an IllegalAccessException

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-984?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17887650#comment-17887650 ] 

Thomas Mortagne commented on VELOCITY-984:
------------------------------------------

bq. accessible method

It's unfortunately easier said than done as I cannot seems to find anything close to the Java 9+ Method.canAccess (which also could not really be used here because it requires an instance of the class as input) I used in XWiki.

> With the changes introduced in VELOCITY-952, our templates fail with an IllegalAccessException.
> The exception is caused by a template that has a variable of type StringBuilder and calls append on it. The introduced changes choose the implementation of the method of AbstractStringBuilder to be executed, which leads to the mentioned IllegalAccessExceptions.
> I've attached an extended version of Velocity952TestCase.java that reproduces the problem with an additional test.
