Illegal Access Exception while evaluating permissions using s:hasPermission

[josdaniel]

Env: Seam 2.2.0, JBoss 5.1

I get this error occasionally even though the user permission class is configured properly. Has anyone seen this error before (Note: This happens while rendering the main page which contains a lot of permission checks to show tab items as per login credentials)

Exception during request processing:
Caused by javax.servlet.ServletException with message: "javax.faces.FacesException: javax.el.ELException: /layout/content.xhtml @97,80 rendered="#{s:hasPermission('seam.user', 'read')}": java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: exception setting: action"

Just some additional info on the exception

Hello Josh,

did you find any solution to this?

Nope, I didn't it occurs randomly. Just make sure you don't have any final method qualifiers on the UserPermission class with those annotations.

Have you seen this error at your end?
