Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superclass access check class apache (in module x) that cannot access another apache class (in mod y)

Question

I'm new to modularized java 16 projects as well as using the maven build system whilst trying to implement the program using IntelliJ, JAVAFX and APACHE POI-OOXML.

For simplicity, I am implementing a button's event handler that instantiates a class that is responsible for using Apache: ControllerCode

The problem then happens here: line 24 of this code

Here is the stack trace:

I am completely new to all of these but I feel as though this line from the stack trace above is the culprit:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: superclass access check failed: class org.apache.poi.openxml4j.util.ZipSecureFile (in module org.apache.poi.ooxml) cannot access class org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile (in unnamed module @0x2db197a2) because module org.apache.poi.ooxml does not read unnamed module @0x2db197a2

Here is the module-info:

module com.example.demo3 {
    requires javafx.controls;
    requires javafx.fxml;
    requires org.apache.poi.ooxml;


    opens com.example.demo3 to javafx.fxml;

    exports com.example.demo3;
} 

My maven dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
        <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
        <version>16</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

        <artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
        <version>5.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies> 

I would appreciate all help that I can get:)

Answer 1

A piece as it says about a zip archive in the error. There is no actual stream assigned with the place e,g, you have a String path but analogous there is not actually so much as an actual.io.File related part of the code. There is however a constructor for such document that takes a Stream argument on construction.

Answer 2

This issue is due to missing requires in apache poi 5.0.0, which is fixed in 5.1.0.

5.1.0 module-info.java

module org.apache.poi.ooxml {
    requires org.apache.poi.poi;
    requires org.apache.xmlbeans;
    requires org.apache.poi.ooxml.schemas;
    requires org.apache.commons.collections4;
    requires org.apache.commons.codec;
    requires org.apache.commons.compress;
    requires org.apache.commons.io;
    requires commons.math3;
...

5.0.0 module-info.java

module org.apache.poi.ooxml {
    requires org.apache.commons.collections4;
    requires org.apache.commons.codec;
    requires commons.math3;
...

Adding requires org.apache.commons.compress; in your project module-info.java can solve the problem. But it looks like there are many requires added in version 5.1.0 which may be due to similar issue. So to prevent other similar error, I would suggest upgrading poi to version 5.1.0 or above.
