I have to compile and run a seam-2.2.2 app in java 8 environment. Everything works fine, except seam identity management. This seems to be relate to Drools from seam-2.2.2
when I run the seam app in java 8 environment, this following exception is raised org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: org.jboss.seam.security.ruleBasedPermissionResolver
Excluding drools form the app, no more exception. The seam app is working correctly. The exception is not raised in java 5 environment.
Any idea how to fix this problem?
Thanks

I think what's happening here is that some Java code from seams (and your app) is compiled using a java 8 compiler. Then org.drools.compiler.PackageBuilder is called to compile some DRL. This will, eventually, call a Java compiler to compile the Java code generated from the DRL. For this, a Java compiler is called up via Eclipse, and this compiler isn't happy when it encounters (due to import statements) classes that have been compiled by Java 8.
Therefore, it is a question of fixing your Eclipse and Java installation.
There's a way to configure the Java compiler to be used by Drools, but normally this works well using the default, i.e., via Eclipse.
