What you expected to happen

A right exception or tips.

Anything else

dubbo service method:
BaseResponseDTO changeSecurityStatus(Integer market, String securityCode, Integer securityStatus);

consumer throws custom exception:

package com.hst.arch.components.exception.types;

import com.hst.arch.components.exception.AbstractHSTBaseException;

public class HSTAlertingBaseException extends AbstractHSTBaseException {
    public HSTAlertingBaseException(String code, String msg, Object... args) {
        super(code, msg, args);
    }
}

can you show your consumer and provider initialized config or simple demo ?

furthermore, why jdk8 has java.base ?

[JunJieLiu51520]

i can't reproduce

This might be an issue with Hessian serialization. You could try switching to a different serialization method, such as Protobuf or FastJSON.@luo-zhan

[wcy666103]

Try to upgrade to high version dubbo such as 3.3.1, this is a Hessian-Lite related bug. And the same error message #14791 to this problem

You JDK version should not be 1.8. java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.Reflection.newIllegalAccessException only happends on JDK17 and above.
