Hi all,

iSphere search results cannot be saved to disk, because the XStream library
(utilized by iSphere) uses reflection, which is not allowed by Java 21.

If the "Auto Save" option is enabled in the iSphere search result views,
the following error message will be displayed upon startup:

   "Failed to load file. (path_to_file)"

The error log shows the following entry when saving a search result to the
hard drive:

   Failed to save source file search results.

Disable the "Auto-save" option in the iSphere search results views or add
the following entries to RDi.ini if you want to save iSphere search results
to and load them from disk:

--add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED

The problem will be fixed in the next iSphere version.

Regards,

Thomas.
