Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Due to a longstanding upstream bug in the JDK, users of previous versions of JBoss EAP 6 would encounter an +IllegalAccessException+ when attempting to access a public method or field of a non-public class via EL. This release of the product includes a workaround that sets +setAccessible(true)+ on the method before invoking it. This suppresses Java access checking and allows EL to access public methods of non-public classes that implement public interfaces or have public superclasses without throwing an exception.

Attention: Jimmy Wilson

IIUC JBoss EAP 6.2.2 Release Notes are to be resolved issues only, not Known Issues, though there is already one exception. Do you definitely want this issue noted in the Known Issues section?

Verified in JBoss EAP 6.2.2.CP.CR3

Thanks for the draft content Farrah.

I've edited it to bring in more in line with publishable format and marked for inclusion in the document.
